Read full description

Skydive Winds brings together the wind aloft and weather information skydivers check before a jump. Explore the vertical wind profile from the surface up to exit altitude, review the hour-by-hour forecast, and compare conditions against the limits you configure yourself. WINDS • Full vertical wind profile from the surface up to exit altitude. • Speed, direction and wind shear by altitude. • Weather model, model run and data freshness always visible. • Drift estimates for freefall and canopy flight. FORECAST • Hour-by-hour forecast matrix for the coming days. • Surface wind, gusts, cloud cover, visibility, precipitation and convective risk. • Each hour is shown relative to your configured limits. • Missing or uncertain data is clearly indicated. DROPZONES • Search dropzones, save favourites and view nearby DZs. • Compare conditions across multiple dropzones. LOGBOOK • Log your jumps with gear, altitudes and notes. • Keep a saved weather snapshot for each jump. YOUR SETUP • Define your own ground wind and canopy wind limits. • Adjust your usual exit and opening altitudes. • Sync your preferences and data with your account. Skydive Winds is an informational tool. It does not decide whether you should jump. The final decision always belongs to the skydiver and the dropzone operation. Always verify real conditions and follow your dropzone rules, your licence limits and your equipment requirements. Weather data: numerical weather models available through Open-Meteo.
