A UNIQUE WEATHER FORECAST VISUALISATION While most weather forecasting apps rely only on free global models, Windy has gone a few steps further and invested heavily in the most accurate models available, always at the highest possible resolution, to ensure accurate weather forecasts. WEATHER RADAR & SATELLITE IMAGERY A weather radar is the most requested tool for weather forecasting. To provide the most accurate radar imagery, we constantly expand our resources so that rain, snow, and storms don't catch you by surprise. Trusted sources include NOAA, Met Office, AROME, DWD, JMA, ACCESS, and others. MORE THAN 50 WEATHER MAPS AND TOOLS - Wind forecast (current speed, gusts, accumulation, models comparison, data from weather stations) - Temperature, humidity, pressure, dew point, freezing altitude - Rain, thunder, storms, precipitation type, CAPE-index - Weather radar and Satellite images (blue, infrared, visible) - Clouds, clouds tops, clouds base and visibility (LIFR, IFR, MVFR, VFR), fog - Waves, swell, currents - Solar activity maps (solar power, UV index, wet-bulb temperature) - Snow depth, new snow, snow density - NO2, PM 2.5, Aerosol, SO2, Ozone layer, Surface ozone, CO concentration, Dust mass - Weather warnings & Extreme forecast - Soil moisture, Moisture anomaly, Drought intensity, Fire Danger, Fuel Moisture Available global weather models and resolution: - ECMWF - GFS by NOAA - ICON by DWD Available local weather models - HRRR by NOAA - NAM by NOAA - HRDPS by MSC - ICON-EU by DWD - ICON-D2 by DWD - UKV by British Met Office - AROME-HD by Météo France - ALADIN by CHMI - NEMS by meteoblue - MSM by JMA - ACCESS-C by Australian BoM CUSTOM WEATHER ALERTS - Want to know about essential weather forecasts before everyone else? Set up a custom alert based on the weather in your favorite location. Whether it's wind strength, precipitation, or temperature. HURRICANE TRACKING, STORM TRACKING With Windy's hurricane tracking tool, you can track a hurricane's past and projected path. Windy doesn't rely on just one hurricane model but will give you all the forecasts available for a storm or hurricane. WEATHER WIDGETS for iOS, iPadOS, MacOS Windy serves up a quick weather overview on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, as well as live radar by NOAA, Met Office, Meteo France, DWD, JMA, ACCESS, and many other trusted sources. You can choose from several view sizes and types. 3-5 day forecast, live weather radar, live satellite, or a simple lock screen overview. TOOLS MADE FOR PILOTS - 16 altitude levels from the surface to 13.5km/FL450 - 50k+ Airports searchable by ICAO and IATA, including runway info, decoded & raw METARs, TAFs and NOTAMs - Detailed Airgram and Meteogram - Thermals forecast - Meteogram: temperature and dew point, wind speed and wind gusts, pressure, precipitation, altitude cloud cover - Route planner WINDY FOR APPLE WATCH Forecast, radar, METARs, and wind information in a small, lovely package.

Best weather app out there!

This is by far my favorite weather app! It is packed full of features and the weather data is about as real time as you can find. The developers constantly improve upon the existing features but, most importantly, they frequently introduce new features. This is one of the few apps that I have where I am always excited to read the details about new features contained in each app update!! All of the major weather models are on this app and they are updated just as soon as the newest model runs are completed. I rarely pay subscriptions on apps but this is one app that I have paid for the subscription upgrade and i feel like I get every penny and then some out of that subscription. I can’t say enough about windy!!!Just wanted to add a quick update. The developers respond to reviews that are posted on here. That is much appreciated! Even if it is to say thank you for a 5-star rating, I’m confident that a lower rating and/or any complaints or suggestions would be taken into consideration by the development team. That is excellent customer service and a developer team that cares about what their customers want. This is simply an all-around exceptional app! I can’t wait to see what features are in the works for the future!!

Great on iPhone 8, issues dragging the map on the 11
09/23/2019

Hiponautimous Potimus.
I loved this app so much! Having lived in 2 locations that are frequented by hurricanes, Florida & Coastal North Carolina, this app is a MUST during hurricane season. I used it all the time on my iPhone 8 with no issues. But I just got the iPhone 11, and noticed one issue I never had on the iPhone 8. And seeing no other reviews describing this same issue (the iPhone 11 has only been out now for 4 days), I felt I should report it just in case others have the same issue, and so maybe a fix can occur. I have tried restarting my phone and reinstalling the app, but problem persists.The issue happens when you try to drag the map to look at other locations. Instead of the animated map moving to reveal more of the map, it zooms in. Making it impossible to look at other locations, other than the default location. I was able to move it only a little but it was a battle getting it to respond at al and would still only do that while simultaneously zooming in.If I am doing something wrong, please let me know! But I still say it’s been the best visual weather app out there! And I hope this problem goes away soon! I will change my rating to 5 stars if I can get it to work again.

Thank you for your feedback. We know about this issue and the reason is iOS 13. Right now we are still working on this problem. Everything should be correct on iOS 13.1. Please follow up this link https://community.windy.com/topic/9672/several-issues-with-upgrade-to-ios-13/3Thank you for your patience. Barbora

Access to the models professionals use
01/03/2024

Also Can compare them, and probably learn a lot more too if you have less formal meteorological training. Having more access to well formatted data instead of it being fed to you and summarized as in other apps is important especially to those who depend heavily on weather such as myself occasionally working in the marine industry on Great Lakes and outdoor activities or professions. It’s important to understand that models do not always get it perfect so being able to compare them for discrepancy and integrate into your own local knowledge is crucial on the water or anywhere really when serious mission critical planning or at least some decent foresight is required. This app allows you to do that. I’d say this app is the main thing to have and then some shortcuts for a few NOAA pages allowing you to get some of the same information in a low bandwidth format when service is poor … other than Sirius nav weather on an MFD for when there is zero cell coverage… this is what you need to be as confident as anyone can be about completing dangerous marine work on a Great Lake like superior.

The best weather app out there
09/14/2018

Obama_in_2008
I was a huge fan of Storm from WeatherUnderground and hadn't checked out the other options recently, but when The Weather Channel killed Storm and replaced it with a mediocre weather channel version I had a look at the other options and was very happy to find Windy. It's so much much better than the others, let me count (a few of) the ways: You can pick your forecast model! And then compare the different models to see where they differ! That to me is a game changer. The timeline along the bottom is so great to see how pressure and fronts will move - I feel like I've learned a lot just by using the app. The many layer options are great - set it for what you want to see and don't be distracted by what you don't. And of course the wind animation options make for a visually appealing interface. Seeing how the different altitude winds are moving and changing is so useful and interesting. I'd gladly pay money for this app, there are just so many great things to say about it. And if all you want is a sun, a cloud, or an umbrella for where you live that's there for you too. I was bummed when Storm was killed off but am so happy to have found this great app.
