• Radar glitch or something really strange happening?

  From windy.com just now, appears at all zoom levels and doesn't look like the usual spikes seen on radar, and defnitely those aren't this long. Maybe it's Maverick leaving NAS Fallon at Mach 10 :) ? - Source: Reddit / about 11 hours ago

• Weather planing for photoshoots

  In addition to clear outside, I also use windy.com between the 2 you can get a good idea of what is likely to happen. - Source: Reddit / about 24 hours ago

• Newcastle max temp forecast for today: 34 from BOM (ABC News last night) and 27 from ECMWF HRES (via windy.com) at the same time. BOM forecast was repeated at 4.45am this morning. BOM looks to be way off.

  The problem is the main thing I care about is the reported temperature tomorrow for Newcastle, and a kind of "will it rain" idea (should I ride my bike). The stats on temperature that are available seem to indicate windy.com (i.e. ECMWF) is better. - Source: Reddit / 14 days ago

• What’s your favorite thing to do in rainy bangkok?

  I use windy.com and try to guesstimate what might happen from there. Anything more than three, or even two, days out it a total crap-shoot though. u/Sust-fin above is right. All the apps seem pretty damned useless. In the depths of rainy season (which isn't next week) you find out what 'monsoon' really means and it can rain harder than any umbrella will help you with. This time of year just carry an umbrella with... - Source: Reddit / 12 days ago

  The BoM temperature is forecast and measured at Nobbys Head right next to the lighthouse (32.9185 S 151.7985 E). windy.com is from 32.930 S 151.780 E next to the Grammar School. They're 2.15 km apart. - Source: Reddit / 14 days ago

• Is there a BETTER Weather applet for Cinnamon that actually works?

  Yeah you got right - just forget about it. Go to windy.com instead - its fun and visually quite beautiful. - Source: Reddit / 17 days ago

• Windy.com or Windy.app for sailing?

  I recently bought Windy.app and found that my friend sailing is using Windy.com. They both seem to almost do the same thing, but I generally get a bit more sailing info from Windy.app. Not sure which are more accurate or if they do the same thing. Apparently Windy.com used to be windity or something, then windy.app came into play in 2015, then windity changed their name to windy.com in 2017 and it's confusing when... - Source: Reddit / 18 days ago

• What is the best forecast App to use in Australia 🇦🇺?

• On Simbrief I can see a wind of 50 kts at my cruise level (FL340), but in MSFS the wind is 3x stronger (160 kts). So... is it a known bug or what is the explanation?

  Or if in doubts... See the altitude bar on windy.com. - Source: Reddit / 26 days ago

• Once this weather calms down it’s time to get to work with this fresh arrival of 6k 14-bit greatness.

  Excellent advice. I gotta practice in the sim. Any recommendations? BTW, I like windy.com to check out the wind forecast. - Source: Reddit / 28 days ago

• How long does pow drop last on icecoast?

  Well nobody actually knows for sure. It depends on the temperatures. Ususally first week of March is ok. I see the wx models have rain now in store for the 4th, and above zero temps, and windy. So it seems the season will remain iffy til the end. Check windy.com and set it to the ECMWF model for Tremblant. - Source: Reddit / 29 days ago

• Russian ammo depot destroyed in Mariupol at night

  If the winds are right and they were from a quick check on windy.com just after the first reports the range of the regular M30 missile could work. Ukraine is not afraid to risk the Himars launchers for the right reason as I saw a video a couple of days ago of a Russian drone watching a Himars launch and then scoot as counter battery fire came in so they were fairly close to the front line. - Source: Reddit / 28 days ago

• FYI, snow possible on the ENTIRE PCT over the next 5 days

  According to windy.com, right now, all 2,600+ miles of the trail is expected to get a minimum of 5" of snow over the next five days. The (probably inaccurate) forecast for Campo is 13". Hikertown: 3+ FEET. Except for Scissors Crossing, the southernmost area to get less than a foot is Lassen National Park. - Source: Reddit / 28 days ago

• Swimming off Greek islands

  Naxos should be nice! In July and August there may be days with strong winds from the north/northwest. The flatter water to swim in will be from beaches that are south-facing. You can check the current wind and forecasts at windy.com or windfinder.com. Often (but not always) the mornings are calmest and the wind will build in strength during the day. You might even be tempted to learn windsurfing or kitesurfing... - Source: Reddit / 29 days ago

• Stranded in Ait Ben Haddou

  Unfortunately, I think that the roads will be closed for the next 5 days. You can check windy.com, heavy snows in the atlas mountains. I would highly recommend you to check for a better hotel where you can stay but don't risk taking the roads, some buses or taxis could propose to you to drive you to Marrakech but it's risky. - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago
