Windy.app® is a professional weather forecasting and outdoor activity platform that combines forecasts from multiple weather models with real-time observations from more than 30,000 weather stations worldwide. Rather than manufacturing weather stations, Windy.app aggregates data from public and personal weather stations, allowing users to compare live observations with forecast models for improved decision making. The platform is widely used for boating, sailing, fishing, surfing, kitesurfing, hiking, aviation, cycling, agriculture, and other outdoor activities requiring accurate local weather information.
