Hi, my name is Ivo, and I love the wind!

I am an addicted kiter, helicopter and jet pilot, who seeks the wind, waves, METARs and powder snow almost constantly. Since programming is my passion I coded Windyty.com in 2014 as my pet project. Original version was highly inspired by products of Swiss company Meteoblue and other project called “Earth”, that displayed animated wind particles on the globe. I have completely rewrote open source codes of Earth and also made an agreement with Meteoble to use some of their products that time. And thus Windyty was born (renamed to Windy few years later). My goal is to keep Windy small and fast to be accessible in the most remote locations.

In 2014 Windy was born, under its former name Windyty

In 2015 Windy team grew to few more programmers: Milan and Tomas. We use GFS and NEMS as main forecast models.

In 2016 we have launched Android and iOS mobile Apps and we have renamed Windyty to Windytv, which turned out to be big mistake. As one of the few companies in the World we have have to use ECMWF forecast model, that is recognised as the most accurate model available.

In 2017 our team grew to 5 people and we have changed the name to Windy with nice and short address www.windy.com. During hurricane season Windy become major source of weather information for governments, institutions and individuals in affected areas, virtually saving the lives.

Our goal is to provide best weather forecasting service in the world. So far we have failed to find sustainable business model.
