Ventusky

Ventusky is a weather map service run by InMeteo, s.r.o., a company at Kotíkovská 1268/75 in Plzeň, Czech Republic, according to the about and contact pages. The about page describes InMeteo as a meteorological company focused on weather prediction and the visualisation of meteorological data, and says the web application was developed with Marek Mojzík and Martin Prantl.

It also links a sister portal, In-počasí, which it says was founded in 2006. The home page lists map layers for temperature, precipitation, radar, satellite, wind, clouds, pressure, CAPE, snow cover, humidity, sea and air quality, drawn from the models ECMWF, GFS, ICON and GEM. Premium is a yearly subscription in two tiers, Premium and Premium+, but the page read shows the price as blank placeholders.

• Animated map layers. The home page lists temperature, feels-like temperature, precipitation, radar, satellite, wind speed, gusts, clouds, pressure, CAPE, snow cover, humidity, sea, air quality and a wind animation.
• Four weather models. ECMWF, GFS, ICON and GEM are listed on the home page, and a banner announces two new high-resolution models. The pages read do not say which layers use which model.
• Unlimited layers on Premium. Premium lists unlimited layers, forecast maps beyond seven days, advanced widgets, advanced notifications, radar on Apple Watch and priority support. The free level therefore limits layers and range.
• Device allowance. According to the plan comparison, Premium allows 4 devices and Premium+ allows 25 devices. A household with many phones and tablets may hit the lower figure.
• Web, iOS and Android. Premium runs on iOS, Android and the web, with App Store and Google Play download links on the Premium page. That keeps one subscription usable across a phone and a desktop browser.
• Voucher redemption. The Premium page offers a voucher redemption option as an alternative to buying a subscription. The pages read do not say where vouchers are issued or what they cost.
• Auto-renewing yearly plan. The subscription is yearly, renews automatically and can be cancelled at any time. Payments are processed by Paddle.com Market Ltd as seller of record.

• A hiker or pilot reading the forecast visually. Animated wind, precipitation and cloud layers let a user read conditions on a map. Premium adds maps beyond seven days, which helps trip planning further ahead.
• A household sharing one subscription. Premium allows 4 devices and Premium+ allows 25 devices, so a family with several screens can compare tiers. The price is not shown on the page read, so confirm it at checkout.
• A weather enthusiast comparing models. ECMWF, GFS, ICON and GEM appear on the home page, and CAPE and satellite layers are available. The pages do not describe how to switch models, so check the app.

The pages we read describe the Premium offer rather than a setup procedure. The map is available on the web at ventusky.com, and the Premium page links to the App Store and Google Play for the iOS and Android apps. To subscribe, open my.ventusky.com/premium, choose Premium or Premium+, and pay through Paddle.com Market Ltd, or redeem a voucher instead.

The subscription renews automatically and can be cancelled at any time. Because the price appears as blank placeholders on the page we read, check the amount shown at checkout. The footer links Privacy and License pages and the site has Data sources, Help and Contact pages.
