How can I check the weather conditions before sailing?
There are two ways to check the forecast.

First way is to type for a specific location in the search box and open it.

Now you've opened the spot!

Slide to the right with your finger and there you can see the menu.

This is a 10-day forecast with atmospheric pressure at sea level, air temperature, wind speed, wind knots, wind direction, precipitation, clouds, currents, swell, swell size, swell period and tides.

The second way to check the weather is using the map. Button that leads to the map is always located in the upper right corner.

Just open Windy.app and there it is on the main screen.

Move the map as you like. Here you can fully check the weather situation.
