An always entrancing interactive weather map

Windyty is one of those websites where you can lose a lot of time just staring and trying new views. It's essentially a map of winds you can choose to overlay with weather conditions such as humidity and pressure zones, and set to just about any geographic view you want. The map is bare — no cities or borders, but click on the map and you get a detailed local forecast of the spot you are looking at. From creator Ivo on the about page:

Hi, my name is Ivo, and I love the wind!

I am an addicted kiter, helicopter and jet pilot, who seeks the wind, waves, METARs, TAFs and powder snow almost constantly. Since programming is my passion I coded Windyty.com as my pet project. All credits must go to Cameron Beccario, who programmed the Earth project and offered its codes as open source. While basic mathematics behind it remains the same, I completely rewrote the code so now it can run many times faster.

Windyty.com is advertisement free and a strictly non-commercial project.

GFS forecast model, produced by NOAA, is the major source of weather data. Forecast data are updated four times a day. Beautiful forecast for location detail are produced by Meteoblue.com and are based on NMM, NEMS or GFS mathematical models with different resolution, based on location (more info here).
