What Windy.com - Weather Forecast Is Used For

Windy.com - Weather Forecast appears to be a detailed weather app for checking current and upcoming conditions on a map. Based on the metadata, it is commonly used to view weather radar, satellite imagery, wind, waves, ocean conditions, and storm-related forecasts in one place. That makes it useful for everyday planning as well as for users who follow changing weather closely.

The app also appears geared toward people who need location-based forecasts, since it requests fine and coarse location access and can use background location for ongoing weather updates and alerts. Its weather-model and map-focused features suggest it may help with trip planning, outdoor activities, marine conditions, aviation-related checks, and severe weather monitoring. Because it offers many forecast layers and notifications, it may suit users who want more than a basic temperature-and-rain app on a phone.
