Description

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. 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 or air quality. 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.

    This is my go-to resource for current and future weather conditions. The details are extremely accurate and helpful in making plans.
  • Best i’ve found to replace dark skies

    I find Ventusky to be really useful and accurate. I like all the detail available, and the summaries for when i want the gist. When I compare Ventusky’s weather predictions to NOAA and Accuweather, such as when it will rain and how much, it is right more of the time (only exception is wind gusts — those seem to be wrong on the high end). It’s my go to weather app.
  • Excellent

    One of the best and always kept in my astronomy toolkit as well as my students. It started with a few issues when it launch, but all I asked and more has become even better. Thanks Ventusky! Keep up the excellent work!
  • My favorite weather app

    I have 5 weather apps on my phone but this is my go to. I’ve been a weather forecaster for over 40 years and I love the detail and the model information. I’ve recommended this app to many people over the last few years.

    I really cannot say enough about this app. If you’re into weather and want accurate radar and forecasting models then look no further. This app replaced Dark Skies for me. I’ve tried many others but this one just doesn’t disappoint.
  • What a shame

    I loved this app but now they did away with waves. This and wind were the only reasons I had for using this app. There are many apps out there and it looks like I will be looking for something else. What a shame! I do a lot of inshore and offshore fishing. This was one of my main go to tools for determining where to fish. So some times you have something great and you try too hard to do everything you end up with something that is almost useless. Well that in a nutshell is what’s happened to this app. You’ve added too much and a second page which makes it almost useless. If you don’t have the room for everything on the first page why not have a drop down menu that you can select what you want in the front page? Still rating this app as a 1 star until they make it more user friendly!

    After updating to 34.1, the output data doesn't seem to be rendering correctly for the CAPE*SHEAR and Wind shear layers of the ECMWF model. While viewing either one of those layers, the entire screen color codes in a deep crimson red with CAPE*SHEAR value locked in at 12750 m2/s2 and Wind shear value locked in at 510 m/s. Everything else seems to function fine, its a fantastic weather app, highly recommend! **Thank you to the developers for the fix, updating to 5 stars.
