Description:
Real worldwide wind forecast from kiteboarders!
Windy is a handy wind forecast app for extreme sports based on wind and other outdoor activities (SUP, fishing, bike, RC pilotage).
Now we decided to build micro community on spots to exchange weather reports. If you want to be a local leader – send us the name of the spot and we will add chat there (on feedback@catchthewind.co).
You can see all weather data on one screen. You can see at a glance wind conditions for next ten days in Windy-bar or find more precise details in Windy-table.
Also check out our WOW-feature: animated wind map – it shows how the winds blow on the globe.
Our main passion is design. We are trying to show you wind in most beautiful way.
It is the must have app for:
– kitesurfing,
– windsurfing,
– snowkiting,
– yacht and sail navigation,
– paragliding,
– skydiving,
– watching for hurricanes and storms,
– cycling – we have a lot of bicyclists,
– kayaking
– wakeboarding
Also we have drone pilots, wind power producers, crane operators, windy city normal people, golf players among our users.
And very popular among fishermen – we still don't know why:) But we will develop the features for them too. What about sharing your catch on the lake?
