Hi-res forecast for Central Europe
Welcome ICON-D2 - a regional model with very high spatial resolution - 2.2 km step! It covers Germany, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Czech Republic and the Netherlands! It’s updated 8 times a day and gives a 48-hour forecast. Great for adjusting plans for “today” and “tomorrow”!
Improved recommended kite size & more
A more accurate kite size recommendation is now available in the KITE profile. We've tweaked the formula so that it accounts for air density better. Rider's weight also makes a difference, so make sure to set it up correctly in the Settings -> Units.
You may find other specialized parameters in the spot forecast: recommended windsurf size, solunar and UV index.
If you feel there's something missing for your activity - let us know at windy@windyapp.co!

Welcome the Deviation index, an improved version of the Trust index. It shows the spread between wind forecasts from all weather models available on the spot. If it's narrow, you can trust the wind forecast. If it's large, use it with caution. The deviation can be found on the SAIL and custom profile.
We also have bad news: this is the last update of Windy.app for Android versions older than 4.4. because Google doesn't support Google Play Services on older versions.
