- Francés and routes in Andalucia
We have found the app Windy (recommended by VNwalking in this thread, #43) so useful in the last few days that I put together a few photos for anybody who might have missed the original mention. You can save yourself hours of searching for weather info on the individual towns in front of you by using this consolidator app to get a visual picture of an entire area showing forecasts of where snow or rain will be, at what depth or intensity, and how long it will still be around. Of course, the forecasts may turn out to be wrong, but the visual picture of a wide area that it presents sure beats anything else I’ve used for making a wrenching decision about whether it is wise to proceed on a planned trajectory in the face of a major storm front or to change to a different location/camino.
1. Download the app.
2. Zoom in to the area of the world you are interested in, and click on the menu symbol, bottom right.
3. Tap on more layers.
4. Tap on the desired option (new snow, snow depth, rain accumulation, and many more).
5.Tap on the main map and select the desired time period at the bottom of the screen.
6. For detailed info on a particular spot, tap the screen. A white dot will appear near the top of the screen. Move the map so your desired location is under the white dot. (You can’t move the white dot; you have to slide the map around.)
Thank you, @VNwalking, for this great tip. It has been immensely helpful to us with the recent November storms. We are now happily back on track in Galicia. (journal here)
