Ventusky: The weather map app combines highly accurate weather forecasts for your current location with 3D maps that show weather changes over a wider area in a very interesting way. You can see where the rain is coming from and where the wind is blowing. The app’s uniqueness lies in the amount of data displayed. Weather forecasts, precipitation, wind, cloud cover, pressure, snow cover, and other meteorological data for various altitudes are available worldwide.
This app combines highly accurate weather forecasts for your current location with 3D maps that show weather changes for a wider area in a very attractive way. So you can see where it’s raining and where the wind is blowing.
The originality of the app comes from the amount of data displayed. It predicts global weather, precipitation, wind, cloud cover, pressure, snow cover, and other meteorological data at various altitudes. Moreover, the app is 100% free.
Wind animation
The Ventusky program handles the weather display problem in an unusual way. The wind is represented by streamlines that vividly depict the constant evolution of the weather. Airflow on Earth is in constant motion, and streamlines are a wonderful representation of that motion, showing that all atmospheric phenomena are interconnected.
Weather model
Thanks to the Ventusky program, visitors can now get data directly from numerical models previously used only by meteorologists. The software gathers information from the most accurate numerical models.
In addition to the well-known American GFS model and HRRR model data, data such as the Canadian GEM model and the German ICON model are also exhibited, which are rare in global resolution. EURAD and USRAD are two models based on current radar and satellite measurements. These models can accurately represent current rainfall in the United States and Europe.
Weather forecast
Weather fronts can also be displayed. Based on data from weather models, we developed a neural network that predicts the positions of cold fronts, warm fronts, eclipse fronts, and stationary fronts. This methodology is unique and the first in the world to provide consumers with global forward forecasts.
