<![CDATA[Windy offers Sounding Forecast]]>Air sounding, sounding forecast or skew diagram is here (there is plenty of names for it). So far we support only ecmwf but other models will be supported too. Just click with right mouse button on a map and use link in context menu (long tap on mobile will do).

Developed by our soaring pilot & programmer @TZ so enjoy. And BTW works on mobile device too.

It can be loaded on mobile by visiting windy.com/plugin however it does not well yet because I need to adapt the size to mobile screen.

It should probably not take too long to do but I have deferred for now that since loading plugins on mobile (especially in the app) is not well supported.

  • "SkewT diagram" and
  • "Sounding" (by default scales are tailored for free flight but you can see a skewT LogP by unchecking the "zoom view" box at the bottom.

Go to windy.com/plugins to load the plugins (you have to reload them each time you visit the site).

Hope this helps

Is there any chance we could see it having the choice to visualise the soundings with a: Skew T log P format? In the southern hemisphere thats the norm. All soundings published and used by the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia use a Skew T log P format. Great app. Love your work!

Thermals/Lift is the crucial information for all soaring pilots. This info also could be shown on maps like for example in www.xcskies.com. If you could implement this kind of functionality in the Windy, hands down, it would be the best meteo website.

THANKS! It's still a bit hidden in the interface. I struggled to find it on the web (right click, but not from a pin that is already placed) and haven't found it on mobile app yet (iOS).

Keep it coming!

Thank you for creating it. Adding a skewt/sounding for enroute travel is a great idea.

Thanks again. I also like this more than Skew t-log p, which is too complicated in mobile. I hope this recent version will be at least one alternative in future and even the default. @ivo By the way the level indicator is not working in Firefox browser ( Chrome and Edge OK)

I agree that it could be more detailed. Data exists, but we are not processing them now. So maybe in future if the diagram would be considered as a popular tool.
