Use Ventusky everyday to plan your activities and stay ahead of the weather:
1) Joggers & Outdoor Athletes: Plan with Microscale Precision
For runners, cyclists, and hikers, Ventusky provides updates critical for avoiding sudden weather shifts.
Hyperlocal Wind Gust Maps: Visualize wind speed changes at high resolution, ideal for route planning in mountainous regions.
Lightning Strike Alerts: Receive push notifications for strikes within selected distance, synced to wearable device haptics for hands-free safety.
Feels-Like Temperature: Combines humidity, wind chill, and solar radiation to advise on heatstroke risks during summer runs.
2) Vacation Planners: Verify Conditions in Real Time
Travelers leverage global webcam network and 14-day forecasts to optimize itineraries.
Live Cams: Compare real-time footage from 40K+ coastal, ski resort, and urban cameras to assess conditions before departure.
Tropical Storm Preparedness: Track hurricanes predicting storm paths and landfall in advance.
Air Quality Indexes: Plan trips using SILAM model data on PM2.5, NO2, ozone levels and more.
3) Meteorologists & Professionals: Industrial-Grade Tools
Ventusky serves as a field toolkit for pilots, sailors, and researchers needing altitude-stratified data:
Aviation Wind Layers: Animate wind patterns at 16 altitudes (0m–13km) for flight path optimization.
Marine Forecasting: Access ocean current models and surge predictions for offshore operations.
Agricultural Planning: Display the monthly anomaly in precipitation in easy to use map.
MULTI-MODEL FUSION FOR UNMATCHED ACCURACY
Why Does Ventusky Outperform Competitors? Ventusky’s algorithms integrate data from the world’s most advanced numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems, each renowned for specialized applications. In addition to the well-known ECMWF and GFS models, it also displays data from the German ICON model, which stands out for its high resolution covering the entire world. A wide range of high-precision local models is available. Some are updated as frequently as every 10 minutes based on radar and satellite readings, providing highly accurate real-time precipitation data. Ventusky automatically selects the most precise model for your location, but you can also compare them yourself.
