App summary

The app combines highly accurate weather forecast for your location with a 3D map showing development of weather in a broader area in a very interesting way. This allows you to see where precipitation is going to come from or where the wind is blowing from. The uniqueness of the app comes from the amount of data displayed. Forecast of weather, precipitation, wind, cloud cover, atmospheric pressure, snow cover and other meteorological data for different altitudes is available for the whole world. Moreover, the app is completely free of ads.

WIND ANIMATION
The Ventusky application solves weather displaying in an interesting way. Wind is displayed using streamlines which clearly portray the continuous development of weather. Airflow on Earth is always in motion and the streamlines depict this motion in an amazing way. This makes the interconnection of all atmospheric phenomena obvious.

WEATHER FORECAST
Weather forecast for the first three days is available in the app in one-hour steps. For other days, it’s available in three-hour steps. Users can also look up sunrise and sunrise times in a given place.

WEATHER MODELS
Thanks to the Ventusky application, visitors get data directly from the numerical models that, just a few years ago, were used solely by meteorologists. The app collects data from the most accurate numerical models. Besides the well-known data from the American GFS and HRRR models, it also displays data from the Canadian GEM model and the German ICON model, which is unique thanks to its high resolution for the whole world. Two models, EURAD and USRAD, are based on current radar and satellite readings. These models are able to show precisely current precipitation in US and Europe.

WEATHER FRONTS
You can also display weather fronts. We have created a neural network that predicts the positions of cold, warm, occluded, and stationary fronts based on data from weather models. This algorithm is unique, and we are the first on the world who makes global fronts forecast available to users.

Wear OS
Get quick access to weather updates, including precipitation forecasts, temperatures, and wind conditions, right on your wrist.

If you're not sailing, this is the best of the lot. I travel to some off the grid and and highway locations in a 4WD truck camper. This works very well for me. It has a short learning curve. It give me all the info I require, no matter where in the world I go, without drowning me in useless (to me) parameters and colorful maps. I require temperature if freezing, storm and precipitation levels and wind speed and direction. It does this sophisticated, modest priced package. Bravo, Brava.

Excellent ......would never trust any other source to know, and actually see what's going on. I survived through Harvey thanks to Ventusky.I was evacuated, but still...when re- entering P.A. I cried. So many homes, and businesses ruined. Blue Moon Motel destroyed, Avery's, and many other places. Some rebuilt I'm sure. Some did not. Bragged ,and bragged about such great detail your maps show of when , and where a hurricane is making landfall. This application is extremely accurate. I love it.

It's definitely an app for the meteorology hobbyist. I've spent some time w it and it grows in value and interest. It's tough, though, to have all this dehomogenized data points but can't get a simple rain forecast. As much as I enjoy the bells & whistles, I make decisions based on the pros and their "guesswork". And appreciate them for it. I hope you can figure it in soon 'cause I don't wanna lose this.
