A coast weather application from the Swedish Sea Rescue Society. Only available in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. OBS. Applikationen täcker bara svenska farvatten. Väderappen Kustväder ger en detaljerad tvådygnsprognos som timme för timme visar vind, vågor, ström, vattentemperatur, lufttryck med mera. Appen har även en funktion som visar hur havet ser ut vid olika vindstyrkor och väderförhållanden. Positioneringsfunktionen hjälper dig att ange din longitud och latitud om olyckan är framme och du behöver larma. Du kan också dela din position till en vän om du bara vill berätta var du befinner dig. De väderprognoser vi använder levereras av SMHI och YR. Prognoser och vädervarningar utfärdas och uppdateras sex gånger per dygn och visar lokalt väder från Skagerack och Kattegatt till Norra Bottenhavet, i Vänern, Vättern, Siljan, Storsjön (Jämtland) samt Helgasjön och Bolmen. Sjösäkerheten ökar om Sjöräddningssällskapets Kustväder används mycket och ofta. Därför kostar Kustväder inget att ladda ner.
