As 2025 has started, we’re thrilled to reflect on an incredible year of growth and improvements at Windy.com. Here’s a look at the major updates we’ve introduced over the past year.
Four Major App Versions
Last year, we launched four significant updates to the Windy app: versions 41, 42, 43, and 44. Each release brought innovative features, enhanced usability, and bug fixes, ensuring the app remains a reliable companion for weather enthusiasts worldwide.
Redesigned Desktop UI
We unveiled a refreshed user interface for the desktop version of Windy.com. The new design streamlines navigation, making it easier than ever to access critical weather data while offering a visually appealing experience.
Global Expansion of Localized Radars
In 2024, we expanded our network of localized radars, adding coverage in Croatia, Turkey, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, and Tonga and many more. These additions provide more accurate, real-time weather data for users in these regions.
Radar+ Layer
A standout addition last year was the Radar+ layer, which combines Satellite and This feature provides a comprehensive view of weather conditions by integrating satellite imagery with weather radar, offering users unparalleled insights.
Features
Our commitment to innovation led to the release of several new features. These include a 1-hour forecast for more precise weather predictions, improved rain accumulation visualization, new lightning detection technology for enhanced storm tracking, better visual quality through advanced optical flow rendering, and many others.
New Localized Models
Additionally, we registered several new localized weather models, including Japan's MSM, Australia's ACCESS-C, and France's Arome (covering the Caribbean and Reunion). We also extended support for ECMWF and GFS models, offering broader and more detailed weather predictions.
Integration of MTG Satellite Images
In second half of the year, we introduced imagery from the Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) satellite, providing high-resolution views and improving our satellite-based forecasting and observation capabilities.

Originally, Windy has been my "go to" app to view the current, and predicted weather for skiing. Because of the app's amazing accuracy, it wasn't long before I was able to adapt Windy into my everyday life for all outdoor activities, near and far.
Windy has been in my pocket everywhere I go!
When I’m at sea, your wind and wave forecasts are incredibly accurate, helping me plan and know what to expect while sailing. Whether I’m chasing storms on land or navigating the open ocean, Windy is one of my go-to tools. It’s a five-star app that I use almost daily, and I truly appreciate all the effort that goes into making it such a reliable resource. Thank you for everything you do!
