Public-transport directions that tell you which carriage to stand in
windy.com
An animated weather map you can scrub forward hour by hour.
Wind, rain, temperature, waves, gusts and a dozen other layers rendered as a moving map, with the ability to switch between the ECMWF, GFS and ICON models and see where they disagree — which is the honest way to read a forecast four days out. Point at anywhere and you get a full meteogram. Sailors, pilots and paraglider pilots use it, which is why the data density is far above a consumer weather app.
Questions
Works the moment the page loads. No account, no email, no trial. Model disagreement widens fast beyond about five days, and the higher-frequency premium layers cost money.
Yes. Windy sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
