Wind, precipitation, pressure, temperature, wave and other data extracted from GRIB files are displayed through our powerful GRIB viewer interface.

GRIB forecasts are published without human intervention or review. As such, the end user requires some knowledge and awareness. Most GRIB models do NOT accurately forecast hurricanes and tropical cyclones so their use should be combined with specific hurricane and tropical cyclone forecasts.
Super and easy to use app. I use it every weekend, even when I’m not sailing.
Works correctly and easy to use

A good app for visualisation of GRIB files, with choice of covered area to reduce download. Works worldwide and is easy to use with nice overview in meteogram too. A must have for sailors!
Goede app
