https://www.ventusky.com seems to do the best job as it relates to wind. It gives you both wind speed and wind gusts. (For future visitors, I'm currently tracking Hurricane Irma)

Both https://earth.nullschool.net and https://www.windy.com don't appear to have options for wind gusts. So the wind speeds appear much lower than what all the news agencies are reporting right now (180-185mph peak). I get a high of about 75mph in the eye.

windy.com also forces you to register in order to save settings. A bit odd since their Android app doesn't request this AND it's also free of ads and Google Frameworks requirements.

Nullschool doesn't appear to have a settings section at all except for changing language. So metric only...

My fav right now is VentuSky. Sadly... no Android app. I'm not aware of any other similar ones.


looks just like https://www.windy.com/
