Slightly offtopic, but the windy.com service referenced in the article is really a fantastic resource if you learn to use it properly. I rely on it for paragliding a lot, the animated winds are much easier to understand for the brain than static map. Comparing different weather models helps to assess the accuracy of the prediction.

Its too bad windy dropped the 3D map view / globe. Looking at the poles was mesmerizing and insightful. Oh well. Happy landings btw.
