- Great news for all sailors and fishermen in Northern Europe. We have just added a very high resolution (4km) wave model called WAVEWATCH (NO) covering Scandinavia and the surrounding area. This model is important for overall security on the sea. This model is provided to us by Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET.no).

- Webcams (for selected locations, not yet available as a map layer). We process images from up to 20 000 webcams around the world, offering one of the largest camera networks on the Internet. Especially in mountainous areas, you can monitor real conditions (fog, snow, etc.). Wide coverage is enabled by cooperation with partners such as Panomax.com, Feratel, NOAA or Foto-webcam.eu. Enjoy the view.

1) Precipitation probability forecast. The probabilistic forecast is based on 40 outputs of the ICON model. Each of the outputs is run with slightly different initial conditions. The effect of these changes on precipitation amount is investigated. For example, with a probability of 100%, rain is certain. On the contrary, with a probability of 0 % there is no risk of rain.

1) We have changed the payment model for the application to a freemium (with a yearly subscription). However, all functions will remain available forever to all users who have purchased and supported the application before this change. If you have trouble to access the content of the application, contact us at

1) Radar forecast for several hours is here! We combine data from the world's best models with the highest resolution to offer the most accurate radar forecast on the market.
2) Showers on the British Isles and Ireland can change very quickly. Thus we have added a special regional model UKMO UK with a resolution of 2 km and rapid updates every hour. Radar forecast from this model is now available.

- New ECMWF model. There are available basic layers from this model (temperature, wind, precipitation, or pressure). It will come in handy during the comparison of forecasts from different models (mainly ICON and GFS)
- New AROME model. This model has one of the highest resolution for this region (2.5 km). It covers the whole of France, Belgium, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Andorra and partly neighboring countries.

Stunning and smooth animations are now available. The transitions between each forecast times are fast and smooth. We are interpolating all values between forecast times with our state-of-the-art 3D technology. The changes and development of the weather is now much better visible.
We have also added a new climate layer "Precipitation Monthly Anomaly". It shows precipitation anomaly from the long-term average for a period from the first day of the month to a user selected day of the month.

Major update is here!
1) We have significantly extended the amount of data offered from the ICON, ICON EU and GFS models. Thanks to the extended ICON models, the accuracy and resolution of forecasts on 7 days will increase. The overall forecast is now for 14 days (previously 10 days).
2) Fog layer (cloud layers are now divided into fog, low, medium and high clouds)
3) Freezing rain (newly is marked on precipitation map by exclamation marks)
4) Model Switcher shows active model on the AUTO mode (orange dots)
5) Change of opening a new locations on the map (requires longer tap)

Major update is here with amazing new features!
1) Weather fronts worldwide! 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. Note, that this feature is still in the BETA testing (we plan further improvements in our algorithm).
2) Temperature anomaly! This new layer shows the temperature anomaly from the long-term average for a given time. This average is based on the 40 years period (1980-2020). Temperatures above the average are displayed from orange to red colors, and below average are displayed from blue to purple. You can see how unusual the weather is in your area.
3) GPS pointer. You can turn on GPS pointer in the Settings section. It will show you the current position on the map (GPS) and the weather for this location.
4) Sea surface temperature with a forecast for the next 7 days based on the new RTOFS model
5) Air Quality Index (AQI). This new layer shows the overall air quality. Moreover, we have created the air quality chart that shows the development of AQI in the next 4 days. You can use the AQI to plan your outdoor activities.
6) Ocean currents
