Know where it's flyable before you leave the house.
Magic Skyweed is a free, map-first paragliding weather and flight-planning app. It scores thousands of flying sites worldwide against the hourly forecast — wind, gusts, direction, cloud base and rain — personalised to your wing and your limits.

One map. The forecast, the flying sites, the airspace and the live wind — cross-checked for you, every hour of the week ahead.
Site-aware flyability scores
There's no generic "good weather". There's good for your wing.
A dune soarer on an EN-A and an XC pilot on a two-liner read the same sky differently. Magic Skyweed scores every site, every hour, against your gliders and your no-go limits — and always shows its working, so the score directs your attention without replacing your judgement.

Questions pilots ask
Magic Skyweed in five answers.
What is Magic Skyweed?
Magic Skyweed is a free, map-first paragliding weather and flight-planning web app. It combines hourly forecasts, a global catalogue of flying sites, airspace overlays and live wind observations, and scores each site's flyability for your specific wing and limits.
How does the flyability score work?
For every site and every forecast hour, Magic Skyweed checks wind speed and gusts against your wing's range, wind direction against the launch aspect, plus cloud base, precipitation and visibility. The result is a 0–100 score you can open up and inspect — the underlying forecast is always shown, never hidden.
Is Magic Skyweed free to use?
Yes. The forecast map, flying-site pages and flyability scores are free to use. Creating a free account adds a pilot profile, your gliders and personal limits, a logbook and social features.
Does Magic Skyweed cover flying sites near me?
Magic Skyweed is global. The site catalogue is based on ParaglidingEarth and spans launches on every continent, and the forecast engine works anywhere on the map — search any place in the world and scan the sites around it.
Is Magic Skyweed a substitute for official weather or airspace briefings?
No. Magic Skyweed is a planning aid. Forecast models simplify the atmosphere, and map airspace is informational. Always check official aeronautical information, NOTAMs and local site rules, and apply your own training and judgement at launch.
