Frankly, I don't leave the house without checking Windy to know whether I should take my paraglider, raincoat, skis, swimming gear or just not go out. Many have told me about other fantastic forecasting tools they use to make decisions. I've tried them and keep coming back to Windy which is always right and gives more detailed information than anyone can want. The subscription price is very reasonable, so if you've spent thousands on a wing or boat why not spend another €19 to know you're not going to end up on the rocks or in a tree?

I've been a Windy page visitor for a number of years now. Because I live in a cyclone area of Australia, the information provided on this site is invaluable to getting correct informaton, accurate visual representation, predictions and forcasting. The new Radar+ is my new go to visual resource. It's a game changer. Well done Windy!

The 15 Day Forecast is amazing and the MTG Satellite imaging is next level!
It’s amazing how far weather forecasting has come. To gain a true understanding of how far weather forecasting has come you GOTTA read Isaac’s Storm by Erik Larson. A true story of a deadly hurricane in the early 1900’s that is told from the perspective of a young meteorologist stationed in Galveston who is fighting to convince the US Government that weather forecasting is legitimate and a necessary department for the government to fund.
