What’s New

With the new release of the DWD FlugWetter app, the forecast period of the ICON-EU WAWFOR numerical forecasts (World Aviation Weather Forecast) has been extended from +48h to +78h.
In addition, new thermal forecasts have been added to the ICON-EU WAWFOR dataset. The new thermal forecasts provide information on the following parameters:
• Lifting ratio (hourly)
• Potential flight distance PFD (hourly)
• Potential flight distance PFD (daily sum)

Meteograms are also new in the DWD FlugWetter app. It is now possible to select a meteogram for a desired aerodrome in Europe. You can choose between three different meteogram types: IFR, VFR or gliding. Of course, a meteogram is also available for the selected home airport and for each favourite.
