## What is Aerya?

Read the sky before you fly.

Aerya is a paragliding forecast app. It pulls high-resolution weather models and processes them through the lens of someone who actually flies — so you see what matters for a day on the hill, not a generic weather screen.

WHAT YOU SEE
• Daily forecast for any spot on the map
• Wind speed, direction, and gusts at multiple altitudes
• Thermal strength and depth, hour by hour
• Cloud base, freezing level, precipitation
• Saved spots and XC waypoints

BUILT FOR PILOTS
• No ads, no tracking pixels, no profiling
• Honest data — we show you what the model says.
• Works offline once forecasts are loaded
• Dark UI tuned for outdoor use

PARAGLIDING-SPECIFIC FORECASTS
Generic weather apps tell you it's sunny. Aerya tells you whether the lee side will work after 1pm, when the breeze will turn, and how high the climb might go. The forecast is interpreted for free flight. 

WHO MADE THIS
Aerya is built and maintained by a pilot. The same person who writes the code flies the forecast. If something's wrong, you can email.

PRIVACY
We collect the minimum needed to run the app. Your location is only used when you tap "locate me," and only to fetch the forecast. We don't track you in the background. We don't sell data. Full policy: https://aerya.fun/privacy
