Weather layers

Turn Live weather layers and Weather forecast layers on to see what the weather is ahead and to plan your flight safely.

To integrate weather forecasts and Live Satellite images from TopMeteo or SkySight you need an active subscription from them. This subscription is not part of the SeeYou Subscription. To integrate your account go to Settings > Account > Integrations

All available weather layers you can see on the Layers page. ‘S’ letter on the icons meas SkiSight, ‘T’ – TopMeteo.

Rain Radar (Live)

Rain Radar layer displays current percipitation obtained from weather radars and requires an active internet connection. It is updated every 15 minutes. Blue color represents light rain, red is heavy rain.

Satellite image (Live)

Requires TopMeteo or SkySight integration and an active internet connection. The Satellite layer can then be overlaid with the Rain radar layer for an image that looks like this. To enable this layer, open the Layers menu in the top-right corner and select “Satellite” layer in the TopMeteo and/or SkySight section. The Satellite images are updated every 10-15 minutes.

For best experience, display rain radar on top of the satellite image. This will give you the best context for your flight.

Offline forecast layers (Offline)

Weather forecast charts such as wind, wave and convergence can be cached in advance so that they are available during the flight even when your device is offline.

Weather data for selected regions will be downloaded automatically for you each day. If for any reason, new data is not available, a notification will be visible at the top of the Home page in Navigator.

Enable only the regions you use frequently. Selecting too many regions may result in unexpected data transfer costs.

Live wind

This layer shows live wind data from weather stations. Internet connection is required for display this data.

Webcams

Is another one layer that requires an Internet connection. You can use it for better prediction of weather development ahead.

Convergence line forecast (Offline)

Data comes from SkySight. The overlay shows red/violet colors where the convergence forecast is strongest

Wave forecast (Offline)

Layer data comes from both, SkySight and TopMeteo weather providers. The overlay shows red / purple colors where the wave is predicted to be the strongest.

Wind forecast (Offline)

Layer is available from both TopMeteo and SkySight integrations. It always displays the forecasted wind for your current location, altitude, and time.

Potential flight distance – PFD (Offline)

Potential flight distance is a chart that gives information on where the weather will be best during the whole day. Red and Purple colors represent better weather. You should plan to stay in those areas to experience the best of the weather for that day.

Thermal tops forecast (Offline)

This chart displays altitudes on the map that represent the top of climb altitude on your map. The altitude is presented with two digits where 45 represents 4500 meters or 4500 feet, depending on your selected units.
