JFYI for anyone interested in this space: I believe VentuSky - www.ventusky.com - is the most popular website in this space and has comprehensive & free weather information from around the world. I use it on a weekly basis after I first heard about it a few years ago.
Looking at the website now, it includes temperature, precipitation, radar, satellite, clouds, wind speed, air pressure, thunderstorm, humidity, waves, snow cover and air quality. As well as past 3 days and predictions for upcoming 3-4 days.
- darkteflon 5y agoWhen you say “this space”, do you mean weather apps generally? Or is there something that Windy / VentuSky do that sets them apart from any other weather app? It’s not clear to me from looking at these what the advantage is but maybe I’m not the target.
- et-al 5y agoMaybe I'm missing some nuance here, but VentuSky seems like a copy of Windy (or maybe vice versa, but I've heard about Windy ever since it was windytv). Seems like there's also https://earth.nullschool.net https://earth.nullschool.net, but it's not as fully featured.
- tiagod 5y agoIt's slower than Windy on my browser, and doesn't have ECMWF and AROME models.
- ageofwant 5y agoWindy is known and used by every sailor, kiter and windsurfer I know. Never heard of VentuSky...
