SydWinds app review: wind data for Sydney

Introduction

Whether you’re a sailor, a pilot, or you’re just curious about the wind conditions in and around Sydney, then be sure to check out SydWinds on your iPhone and iPad for some of the latest and most accurate wind data available on iOS.

The best Sydney apps for iPhone

This app makes a fairly standard addition to the Weather category of the App Store, although I think it’s great how the developer has provided exclusive coverage of Sydney wind conditions as this could come in very handy for certain people.

Sydney Wind Forecasts

This is a great app that contains detailed wind information for Sydney and the surrounding regions, displaying the current wind conditions as well as forecasts for the coming days so that you know exactly what to expect.

Best iphone and ipad apps

There is some decent graphical content in the form of radar map imagery which shows incoming rain, and the maps also include arrows for a handy graphical representation of wind direction.

 

NWS Marine Forecasts

SydWinds is particularly useful for those of you who spend a lot of time out on the water as you can use it to access National Weather service marine forecasts and warnings, as well as more generalized weather forecasts should you need them.

What’s more, you can also use your device’s integrated GPS to view details for nearby locations, ensuring you only ever see the information that is most relevant to you.
