The weather tab lets you explore the weather at any observed position on the chart. Select the weather tab a marker appears on the on the chart where you want to find out the weather conditions. To explore the weather in other locations drag and zoom the chart under the maker to the desired location.. The weather marker shows the wind speed and wind gust speed a direction at your location. In addition a weather gram chart is displayed that shows the forecast wind and weather. The weather forecast is for several days into the future and the forecast length depends on your subscription plan. 

You can see the current wind conditions as an animated overlay by selecting the wind option from the chart detail layers using the layers icon. This toggles the animation on and off. The animation can be power hungry so it’s best not to leave it running continually, rather to get an idea of how conditions are going to change in the future.

The weather timeline can be scrolled into the future and the current time now is marked by a light blue line. You cannot scroll very far back past now. The timeline also shows the day and night cycle, night has a darker background. The actual observed time is shown at the top of the timeline with a darker blue line and changes as you scroll. 

The wind speed is colour coded using the following scheme:

• Blue light winds
• Green ideal conditions
• Yellow - Orange uncomfortable conditions
• Red dangerous conditions
• Purple extreme conditions 

The wind graph shows future wind forecast by colour and the observed time forecast wind speed in your chosen units. The wind direction shows the forecast direction of the wind at the observed point and is colour coded and the forecast average speed is shown below.

The weather forecast is shown in addition to the average air temperature and predicted rainfall. The forecast model can be changed, ECMWF Mixed is a much more accurate model and is available depending on the subscription plan.
