WatSen vs Avycast

This app is designed to track water temperature across the Black Sea area. During the summer season, automated buoy stations are deployed to monitor sea water temperature, while in colder seasons, satellite data is displayed.

Avycast brings together the official avalanche bulletins of around 30 warning services in 21 countries across four continents, presented in a single, consistent interface and translated into 12 languages. Built for backcountry skiers, splitboarders, alpinists, ski tourers, and mountain guides who plan trips across borders — from the Alps to the Southern Alps, from Hokkaido to the Rockies.
