Not like the first day of January, days lately are being such a moody teenager. Gloomy and randomly raining. And it is not so convenient. After Cempaka cyclone hit Yogyakarta in the end of November 2017, which caused a kind of catastrophic situation in my hometown, my friend told me about this web, which I think it kinda cool. Windy. Most likely other weather forecasts, it has the most real animated view of what's going on in the atmosphere above us. I mean, you don't just read what will happen next weekend, but you can experience powerful presentation, the temperature changes, rain and wind movement, even the sea currents. It has different kind of layer which we can choose. Simply just swiping or clicking the button's icon, and the forecast will change according to what you want to see, the height and also you can zoom in, very accurate maps btw. Even they also have the layer for paragliding and air sports spots! Fantastic. Not really surprised that this web and its apps -yes why of course, this Windy is available on app-store for both android user nor iPhone user- are very popular and trusted by pilots, boaters, fisherman, especially for storm chasers and weather geeks.

For my self, I really like the dramatic change which occurs when the storm is coming. It is like a drawing, or rather a painting, temporary painting or living painting. It is like seeing clouds changes by the wind or ocean waves crush the bay over and over again. Hypnotizing and kind of beautiful, endless loop. Anyway. As you can see 2 GIF pictures I made above. The first one is the next 10 days prediction of the forecast. The redder the area, there are likely more chance to rain in that area. And the second picture is showing how the wind and rain may occur for the next 7 days.
It is likely that we may encounter heavy rain in Jogja for the rest of the weekend. So, don't forget to bring your coats and wear your boots, I've warned you. But, don't worry. It's not likely the weather won't change. Just prying for a sunny weekend, fellas! Or, just download the apps and install it on your mobile phone to watch the forecast's going.
