Windy.com - Weather Forecast

Weather maps for people who need more than a temperature

Windy.com - Weather Forecast turns weather data into an interactive map rather than a simple daily list. You can follow wind direction and speed, compare forecast conditions across locations, and inspect changing patterns over time. It suits travelers, outdoor users, pilots, sailors, and anyone who wants to understand how weather is moving instead of checking only the next rain chance.

Forecast models and map layers

The app brings several forecast models into one view, including ECMWF, GFS, ICON, HRRR, and AROME where available. Comparing models can help show where forecasts agree and where uncertainty is higher. Its map layers cover practical and specialist information such as precipitation, wind, temperature, cloud cover, pressure, CAPE, swell, and other atmospheric measures.

• Animated wind maps make large-scale movement easy to follow.
• Radar and satellite views help track current weather systems.
• Forecast timelines let you examine conditions by hour and location.
• Aviation and maritime information includes airports, METAR, TAF, NOTAM, tides, and selected outdoor locations.

Who will get the most from it

Windy.com is most useful when weather affects a plan or decision. A casual user may find the number of layers and forecast choices more detailed than necessary, but that depth is valuable for route planning, sailing conditions, flying, photography, hiking, and monitoring storms. The map-based layout also makes it easier to compare nearby areas before choosing where to go.
