RE: Upcoming changes to Windy Plugin system
We’re working hard to implement a new mapping library for Windy. The new library combines MapLibre GL JS and Leaflet, bringing together the advantages of WebGL performance with Leaflet’s rich ecosystem and easy-to-use API. We’re calling the new library leaflet-gl.
The library abandons legacy Leaflet constructors, so please update your code accordingly. If you are a plugin developer, please update your constructors as well.
We expect to launch this new library around January/February 2026.
Legacy constructors (to be removed):
const marker = L.marker(...);New constructors (use these):
const marker = new L.Marker(...); -
Unable to clear Distance planning
One of the many brilliant features of Windy is the ability to check distances when planning a route (we have sailed over 44,000 nautical miles, often using Windy to help plan our routes). However, having calculated the distance and closed the Distance summary at the bottom of the screen in a Chrome browser, when you go to measure from another starting point, Windy brings up to previous route, and the only way to clear this route (besides deleting each point one at a time), is to go to Menu, Distance & Planning.
Would it not be more logical that when you close the route it clears it? -
Upcoming changes to Windy Plugin system
Dear developer
After a long time, we had some time to tweak our system for external developers.
Important changes:
-
Very soon, list of installed plugins will be synced in between your devices (and also saved on the cloud). This also means, that external plugins can be accessible only by registered user.
-
New version of Windy, that should be released till end of 2026 will finally enable to use external plugins on mobile devices also in iOS and Android App. To meet strict privacy requirements of Windy.com, Apple and Google, only published and approved plugins will be enabled.
-
We are internally developing new WebGl mapping library for Windy, that will replace legacy Leaflet. But do not worry. This library should have Leaflet compatible API, so you should be able to convert your plugin in no time.
Any new infos will be provided in this category

What if, hypothetically, Windy made a social media app?
Ok, so I know this is a huge ask for the Windy developers (ya’ll bust your butts to fix bugs and add features to this amazing app), but hear me out:
I started surfing about 5-6 years ago and have met some pretty awesome people in the local surf scene through instagram. That was a long time ago. Nowadays it feels like every platform (IG, FB, snapchat, twitter, ETC) is full of pointless content just to boost user engagement.
I just wanna see people’s pics of surfing, kiteboarding, flying, or anything weather related. If Windy were to launch a social media platform that was really geared towards outdoor sportsmen and weather enthusiasts, I’d be first in line and I’d get all my friends on board!
It might be a far-fetched idea but I’m just throwing it out there 🤷♂️
