Rio Santonil 7 #1 Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Greetings everyone, Being new to the sport and I wanted to hear what APP everyone uses to track wind and weather in your DZ. Please indicate which state or country your DZ is located too. The main reason why I posted this question is to determine when I can plan to jump later in the week. Thank you in advance. FLY HAPPY!

It has a world wide DZ database available. https://www.spotassist.com/ Edited November 28, 2020 by gowlerk 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Wang 53 #3 November 28, 2020 I use three apps/websites: US Air Net (Aviation weather & Air Sports Net) Windy (this is a nice app to track wind) AccuWeather Perris, California Blue Skies!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,486 #4 November 29, 2020 I'll second David's suggestion of US AirNet. My understanding is that it's just a graphic representation of the NWS data. So it's the same forecast you'd get from Flight Service or any other government weather (NOAA, ect). This is the Green Bay WI weather (local to me), but you can pick & choose any location in the US (can pick by city/state or ICAO identifier). http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code.cgi?Submit=Go&sta=KGRB&state=WI 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Binary93 65 #6 November 30, 2020 There's actually two Windy apps and I like to use both of them. The blue Windy (when paid) gives you wind and precipitation from multiple models on a single chart. The red Windy has nice meteogram view so you can see clouds over altitude. It can also show you cameras on some places so you can see what the sky looks like semi-real-time. Weather & Radar is good for checking the clouds on the map to know what's the next few hours gonna look like. SpotAssist is great to check wind speed/direction over altitude. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
