Go to r/androidthemes, search for "windows", sort by top of all time, and pick one you like. They usually tell you what they used to make it, but odds are they used Nova Launcher and, for those with a live wallpaper, KLWP.
For weather, I'd say check out Windy. Barometric pressure estimates and radar and forecast widgets.
I don't know if something like what you're asking for exists. But if you can't find anything you can use Windy to get a forecast for your area. Now you only have to figure out what a safe windspeed is. :D
Correct, we're just capital of the USA. If you download the Windy app for android that will give you live feed of how often lightning strikes when the weather radar picks it up, it's actually pretty nifty.
Download the app and feel that bitch vibrate off the chart come Friday when Fred gets here. You'd think you're holding a pair of electric clippers in the palm of your hand 😂
Check out Windy. Tons of good info and customizations:

If you're hardcore into weather there's PYKL3. It has some of the most accurate data available in the highest resolution. It's what a lot of storm chasers use. You can even get lightening strikes.
Although it's a little pricey at $12 it is a very comprehensive app (I got it free from Amazon). I probably only understand 10% of what I'm looking at but it's neat to learn how to read the data.

And for rest of us: Windy on Google Play
(The company is apparently still called "windyty", but the app is called "Windy as forecasted".)
Can't choose between Windyty and Flyover Country.
Hi, I'm sorry that I'm not able to speak /read your language but I just wanted to let you know that I decided to give the weather app that you included in your reply a try. I really don't like having to pay for the premium version of apps so for now I'm just going to try the ad supported version. Just for your reference, this is one of the weather apps that I have installed on my phone and I really like it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android Thanks, David
Windy is arguably even better for looking at wind speed/direction because it will show you areas besides where you are standing. The wind could be drastically different once you get offshore

I recently got the Windy app, and it has pretty good wind and cloud forecasts, it's a nice UI too. It has different forecast algorithms but the default one seems to be fairly accurate so far!
Google play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android
Windy! I like it a lot. Was quite mad at dark sky, and weather timeline befoer that. Windy, plz dont do the same. TEmtped to do the yearly subscription...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android&hl=en_US
Articles like these, about various weather apps, always fail to mention the source these apps use for the forecast. If it's always the same than there is not really any difference between those just the design, which in my opinion starts to matter less with time.
I would recommend Windy as it lets you choose the source of data for the forecast. Not to mention the amount of data you can view on the app.
What information are you interested in getting from the app?
A few others mentioned RadarScope (it's the best radar app by far, and it shows lightning with their Pro Tier 1 subscription for $10/year). If you just want to see where the storms are and don't need high resolution or some of the more technical views like velocity, there are lots of choices of free apps with a radar view. Windy includes lightning strikes and some other interesting maps, as one example (if you try it out make sure it is Windy.com and not the deceptively-named knock-off with a blue logo).
Windy's a completely free app, you can only donate if you want to. I think you mixed up apps.
Dude, thank you for this recomendation. This app is really slick. It even has nearby webcams availble to stream in real time within the app? And no ads!??
windy is used to track forest fires accurately among many other things.
Windy (also known as Windyty) is an extraordinary tool for weather forecast visualization. This fast, intuitive, detailed and most accurate weather app is trusted by professional pilots, paragliders, skydivers, kiters, surfers, boaters, fishermen, storm chasers and weather geeks, and even by governments, army staffs and rescue teams.

This is rare, but two that have them--Windy and EWeather.
EWeather is especially nice. Chose the map widget instead of the radar one. Add radar and warnings as options to the map widget. You get your radar widget, but the warnings will also be shown. The warnings are nice because regularly they show up on the map widget before the main program or other weather apps get them.
The one with the red-background logo with two swishy white lines. I think this is it, although I'm linking from PC and I don't know how that'll work if you open it from android.
I have the other one installed, but haven't ever actually used it. It seems... very situational. I literally can't use it where I sail - it only has specific places that you can look up.
The good one, though, is the official app of www.windy.com - as far as I know the app is identical in function to the website. In addition to the fact that you can look up pretty much any data type you can imagine, one of the nicest features is that you can compare different weather models' forecasts. I'm partial to the ECMWF model. For my area it generally is pretty accurate for telling me whether I'll have wind on the weekend, a day or two ahead of time.
Windy is great. You can get it in the play store as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android
There's also RadarScope https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.basevelocity.radarscope
And pykl3 radar (discontinued but you can still find the app)
If you're on Android check out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android&hl=en
I use it to see how much of a pain in the butt my bike rides are going to be during the summer.
Windyty also has an Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android
Windy, wX, and Radarscope are the 3 I use. Windy for general purpose weather and forecast and widgets, Wx for the NOAA SPC notices (and widget) and Radarscope for best damn radar out there (stateside). With windy and Wx my weather homescreen is pretty nice., and then I open radarscope for more detailed radar if needed.
Windy is probably all most people need. Wx has a lot of the same features (including radar) but also includes NOAA's SPC and MD and other notifications/forecasts as well, so that's pretty handy if you're into that. I really like Wx though as it's GPLv3 and ad-free and free as in beer as well. Props to the creator.
I've tried many of them and currently my favourite is windy.com app, I'm a big fan of the radar view and this just looks great.

To track on the go
I believe Bjorn uses this app to track wind: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android&hl=en
I got you!
I’ll add a couple that haven’t been mentioned.
Windy - free weather app that’s really solid
Skew T Log Pro - uses forecasts to predict temperature/dew points in the atmosphere, giving you an idea of where clouds and icing may exist. Also convective potential energy, so thunderstorm probability. It does a few other things, too. I would learn a little about Skew T Logs before buying/trying. not free but I can’t recall how much it was
Edit: I see you might be on Android. Here’s the google play links:
Skew T this isn’t the same app but it looks fairly similar and at the end of the day, they’re just displaying data, which doesn’t change based on the app.
Which Windy?
- Windy: wind, waves and hurricanes forecast
- WINDY APP: wind forecast & marine weather
- or something else?
Edit: I'm now guessing you mean the site https://windy.com
Personally, I use the Windyty App the most.
Hasta tiene una app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android
Windyty is one I like. Displays the wind at specific altitudes and you can check METARs at airports.
Windyty. You're welcome.
If you're on Android this is a great app to track the Hurricane.
Check out "Windyty" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android
Bacana esse site. Há uma aplicativo para android também.
It is not, it is another company. Windyty has only Android app / https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android
Since you didn't answer to my question, I can only suggest this, no Idea if this cuts it for you.
They do! It's fantastic. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android
Ich kann Windy empfehlen, dort hast du mehrere Satelliten zur Auswahl.

Preface: I'm a pilot, so the links/tools I use are geared toward aviation. They'll work for you and anyone else, but you likely won't care about things like cloud cover, winds, barometric pressure, etc.
First and foremost: The National Weather Service -- this is the link to our local office, located in New Braunfels. It's a good overview of todays weather and weather in the next 5 days.
If you're interested in why they forecasted what they did, check out the Area Forecast Discussion. It provides some insight as to how confident they are in the forecast, and some possibilities that held too low confidence/chance to include, but there's still a chance. Especially when different forecasting models disagree. The apps we use on our phones pull from usually one forecast model, but there are about 6 well known/used models. 3 of them predicted the weather this morning, 3 did not. Of the 3 that predicted it, 2 predicted storms and 1 just predicted rain.
Then the Localized Aviation MOS (Model Output Statistics) Product aka LAMP. This is in Zulu time, which is GMT. Everything in aviation is ... so you'll have to convert it to local time for it to be useful. Essentially, it's a computer generated forecast. There is no human intervention so sometimes it's right and sometimes it's wrong, but it still gives you an idea of how the models are leaning. I've gone ahead and selected the boxes you might care about to keep the information on the page relevant. For what it's worth, you can go back to see yesterdays forecasts and see that they were calling for the weather we had.
Finally, because time is money and you may not want to go through the above links for 20 mins a day trying to figure out what it all means and guess, I recommend an app called Windy. iOS Android It takes the above minus the discussions and gives it to you in a nice graphical format. It's been right more than it's been wrong for me. There's also a website if you prefer to access it from a computer. I prefer this app because you can use any of the 6 models I mentioned above and see how they all compare to each other (again, in a graphical format).
I use the free version of Windy https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android
I've been using Windy for a while now. It's alright.

Windy's widgets do that. Free.

Pretty good looking, and no ads.

started using windy myself, seems pretty decent

I use their radar widget.
Miss the old Raindar app
App used: Windy
Note when people say windy, they mean this one, not the paid copycat one.
Windy has.
Slazem se. Link na Android verziju.
New to kite surfing but I use this for boat sailing.

Check out Windy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android
Still has some areas of need but they've been developing and making it better for a long time.
If you like their radar, Windy.com has its own weather app.
There's a simple answer: windy app :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.windyty.android
I use Weather Timeline most of the time but keep Wyndyty on hand for its map.

Agreed! They also have a very UI friendly app on mobile as well.
