Tip about website with current flight weather around the globe?


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

I have tried to find a good site where I can see actual weather situation on ground (airports) and and up in different levels, but those I find is not so good visualy.

I like my flights in wind and weather situations - and with such weather overview its easier to pick up where to make interesting flights.

I know there are overview over airports by metars - but thats not enough. So tip will be aprreciated..

There's a live weather map that I use to check weather conditions here:

 

https://www.windy.com/?38.299,-86.331,6

 

Check the right hand margin for weather overlays of interest.

has similar maps to Windy (tho strangely not in wind speed knots) and is the same weather MSFS bases off of - tho this doesn't guarantee exact conditions, I have found them to be close enough for my VFR flight planning. Especially useful are the cloud diagrams

I have earlier tried Windy, but to me it seem that Windy show weatherforecast rather than current weather. It could be I am wrong, but this was the case in some occasions when I "tested" their weather against real weather in my home area.

But Windy I guess is good with visualisation all around the globe.

Meteo Blue seem to be very good presenting area weather, so this I will use in those occasions when I have decided which area to fly into.

But I still miss a place where they both show airposts with metars as well as wind and weather above in different levels - maybe I am too demanding!
