      Windy.com offers an exciting opportunity for tech enthusiasts and developers to enhance the weather experience by creating custom Windy Plugins. By developing a Windy Plugin, users can tailor the site’s capabilities to better serve specific interests by adding unique overlays, data points, and predictive models.

      All the information on how to create your own plugin can be found here:

      • Windy Plugins Guide↗
      • Documentation↗
      • Plugin Template (GitHub)↗

      If you want support for your plugin, we'd be happy to invite you to our Windy Slack channel (invite-only). Let us know in the comments.

      Here are some of the examples of Plugins that had previously been made for Windy:

      Better Soundings by @vicb

      Similar to Windy's sounding forecast, but a more detailed display of soundings for paraglider pilots.

      Boat Tracker Example by @ivo

      A plugin aimed at showing the trajectories of boats. Code can be used for tracking planes or cars as well.

            Hey @Helipaddy, that sounds great. What is the plugin supposed to do? Do you need any assistance from our side?

              Hi @cyclonecizek

              it's up to the developer. But yes, we'd love every plugin to be publicly available. Screenshot 2024-04-22 at 8.58.56.png

                @Polina-Nozdrina would it be possible to develop a plugin that simply formats your ECMFW forecast data for a specific location in a diffetent way? For example rather than outputting an arrow indicting wind direction, actually output the compass heading of the wind direction?

                        Would it be possible to make custom model layers using a windy plugin?

                              @David-Polášek we may need a little bit of help. We have two use cases in mind: when a pilot requests a landing, we want to show them the wind and visibility for that location in the email confirmation they receive.
                              The second use case is to show a wind and visibility overlay on our landing site map.
                              Best regards
                              Paddy
