Check the live forecast above to see current wind speeds across your region. The windy weather map provides a real-time view of gusts and pressure systems, helping you plan for conditions from the coast to the inland.
What does the windy weather map show?
The map layers real-time wind speed, direction, and gust data over a satellite or rainfall view, sourced from global models. For Australian users, it offers an immediate snapshot of approaching troughs, coastal breezes, and potential severe weather. Using the windy app or visiting windy com live gives you access to the world weather map live data for any location.
How can I track cyclones on the windy map?
Windy com cyclone overlays show the projected path and wind field of tropical systems approaching the Australian coast. Combined with the severe weather warning page, it helps you monitor developing lows from the Coral Sea or Indian Ocean. The windy weather map live view is particularly useful during the cyclone season from November to April.
How accurate is the windy weather map for local forecasts?
The map uses global models accurate for large-scale patterns, not hyper-local conditions. For detailed suburban forecasts, check the Australia weather hub or your city’s page. Windy rain weather overlays help estimate shower timing but aren’t replacement for radar.
Can I view the windy map on mobile?
Yes, the windy app is available for iOS and Android. It provides the same windy com live data as the desktop version, plus push alerts for gust changes in your saved locations. The mobile interface is optimised for touch zoom across the world weather map live.
What do the wind arrows and colours mean?
Arrows point in the direction the wind blows; longer arrows mean stronger wind. Colours range from light blue (calm) through greens/yellows (gusty) to deep red/purple (dangerous winds above 90 km/h). Gust speed is shown when you tap any location.
