Windy Charges For This. We Don’t.
We believe weather technology has reached a turning point.
Some of the most important weather datasets in the world are generated by governments and publicly funded agencies. New AI models are making forecasting faster, more detailed and more accessible to developers. The enormous technological barrier that once existed between raw meteorological data and a useful consumer product is falling.
And we think the business model should change with it.
Free the Wind.
Because the wind was already free.
Now the forecast is too.
