Windy turns global weather models into animated maps of wind, rain, temperature, clouds, waves and dozens of other layers. Switch between forecast models such as ECMWF, GFS and ICON and scrub through the next days.
Pilots, sailors, kiters and storm watchers rely on it, and it also shows thousands of webcams and weather stations. The free version covers most needs; Premium adds more frequent updates and finer forecasts.
