A smartphone and a tablet are in the foreground, both displaying colorful weather maps and charts. To the left, the text 'WEBSITE RELAUNCH' is visible. In the background, a person is surfing on a wave under a cloudy sky. The Windfinder logo appears on the tablet and in the left area.
Over the past few months, we’ve been working on a brand new infrastructure. It's finally here. Check it out: www.windfinder.com
A blurred blue background with two red app icons labeled 'PLUS' and a white wind symbol. The top icon has a red notification badge with the number '11'. To the left of the top icon, white text reads 'My wind alerts for work days'. Below, another identical app icon without a notification badge is next to the text 'My wind alerts for the weekend'. The 'WINDFINDER' logo is at the top center.
Seems to be accurate … 🤷
Two smartphones are shown side by side against a dark background. The phone on the left has a rounded design, a thick bezel, and displays an older version of the Android operating system with a weather widget. Above it, three question marks are shown. The phone on the right has a modern, slim design with a punch-hole front camera and thin bezels. Its screen shows a detailed weather forecast with a graph, icons, and numbers. Above it, the year '2026' is displayed. The word 'WINDFINDER' with a stylized wind symbol appears at the top center.
Widgets have come a long way. 😎 Do you know when we introduced this feature?
A dark background features the Windfinder logo at the top. Large white text in the center reads 'Blast from the past Windfox'. Below, a screenshot shows a weather forecast interface with the Windfinder logo, location 'Kiel/Leuchtturm', and a table displaying wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, and other weather data for different hours. The interface uses colored icons and numbers to indicate forecast details.
A circular gauge with a blue background and a red needle is displayed below a software interface. The interface shows options for activating wind alerts, setting wind speed thresholds, and choosing wind direction.
Windfox, introduced in 2007, was an extension for Firefox and displayed current wind conditions right in your status bar.
In addition to that, Windfox notified you when the wind speed at your spot exceeded a configured threshold. This was the predecessor of our Windfinder Plus Wind Alert.
A “Scale of Happiness” graphic from Windfinder displays seven emoji faces representing different wind-speed levels for outdoor and water sports. The scale shows wind speeds from 0 to 30 knots, progressing from neutral to excited expressions. The background color shifts from dark blue at low wind speeds to bright red at high wind speeds. Text below asks, “Where is your sweet spot?” with the Windfinder logo above the title.
How much wind do you need to be happy? 💨
A graphic with a dark ocean-textured background and the Windfinder logo at the top. Large white text reads “Once upon a time, …”. On the left is an old, pixelated phone-style screenshot of the early Windfinder software “Windfinder 2.0.16,” showing a small wind chart with red and blue graph lines. To the right, white text explains that before the Windfinder app existed, there was “Javawind2,” a small program that provided surf weather information on early phones and PDAs by pulling wind and wave data over GPRS, HSCSD, or modem connections.
It's the early 2000s … 🤷📟
Funny Windfinder meme showing a red Windfinder Plus app icon with 503 notifications, illustrating FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) among weather and wind forecast enthusiasts. Perfect for kite surfers, sailors, and wind sports lovers who never want to miss the perfect wind conditions.
The fear is real! 🙃 How many #WindAlerts have you set? 🔔
Infographic titled "Temperature Conversion" by Windfinder. It compares Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales. The left column explains Celsius is the most commonly used scale globally. The right column notes Fahrenheit is used in the US and a few other countries. A table shows reference points: water boils at 100°C or 212°F, body temperature is 37°C or 98.6°F, water freezes at 0°C or 32°F, and both scales intersect at -40°. The bottom line reads: “Temperature scale and conversion formulas.”
Infographic titled "Temperature Scale" by Windfinder. A thermometer graphic shows key temperature points from -40°C to 40°C alongside their Fahrenheit equivalents. The right column provides conversion formulas between Celsius and Fahrenheit, and describes Kelvin and Rankine as absolute temperature scales with a zero point at absolute zero (-273.15°C or -459.67°F). The bottom line encourages viewers to “Save and share this piece of weather knowledge!”

Is that already #retro? 🤔 You decide! What year is the left screenshot from?
