Awesome UI, simple and intuitive. It would be nice to get data on other countries (Eastern Europe and the Middle East, which currently only has Dubai). The temperature gauge is really handy

Wow, pretty cool. Expedia has the forecasted data as well? Or is that built from past years

The median rates displayed are based on what hotels are available right now (with some caching of course), i.e. what you would see if you did a search query for that date on Expedia.com.

Ah, so it is based on if you were to book right now. Is the intended use-case to avoid the event surges and get better prices for time-flexible trips?

Hotel pricing data is from Expedia, and chart is made with AnyChart. Hope you enjoy, and we appreciate any feedback.
