This is a great app for free flying (paragliding, hang gliding, sail plain pilots, etc). A parameter for the thermal strength (for example thermal updraught velocity) would make this app complete for free flight.

One example that people use for the UK is RASP (based on a GFS model). http://rasp.inn.leedsmet.ac.uk/
Perhaps these images could be overlayed onto a windy map? I know there are different RASPs for different regions.

A visual colour based map would be excellent.

Ah thanks. I think it just took a while to appear as it was appearing on the next morning. Thanks for your help.

On the iOS windy app, how do you get the app to tell you how high cloud base is? At the moment only “Rules” is displayed with IFR , VFR etc. What you really need to know is the actually height of the cloud base but I can’t find it anywhere!

Anyone help??
