Meteo-Fly

Meteo-Fly is an experimental browser-based weather visualization tool for paragliders and hang gliders. It combines an interactive map with forecast charts intended to help inspect weather models and compare conditions.

Web app: meteo-fly.com

Features

  • Wind, cloud, rain, humidity, and cloud-base meteograms
  • Skew-T atmospheric soundings
  • Multiple ICON, GFS, ECMWF, Meteo-France, UKMO, GEM, and CMA models
  • Terrain-aware grid-cell selection and Hike & Fly analysis
  • Installable PWA with limited offline caching

Forecast data comes from Open-Meteo. Base maps are provided by OpenFreeMap and terrain data by Mapterhorn.

Limitations

Meteo-Fly is not flight-safety software. Forecast models and derived values can be wrong, especially for local mountain weather, valley flows, rotor, thermals, and rapidly changing conditions. Always use current observations and local knowledge.

Development

Use Node.js 24, as specified in .node-version. Cloudflare Pages and CI use this file to select the build runtime.

npm install
npm run dev

Before submitting changes:

npm run check
npm run lint
npm test
npm run build

The application is built with SvelteKit, statically prerendered, and hydrated in the browser for interactive use.

Project provenance

Meteo-Fly is a personal project. Approximately 95% of its code was generated with several generations of AI coding models under human direction and review.

The maintainer works for Open-Meteo. Meteo-Fly is a personal project rather than an official Open-Meteo product.
