📖 Solano blog

Animated layers, wind barbs, time strip, legend — how to use Solano's interactive map to read conditions at a glance.

Inshore bulletins, offshore warnings, the Shipping Forecast — every official bulletin right in the app, no account required. How to read them and subscribe to warning alerts.

Draw your route on the map, choose a departure, and get the weather interpolated at every point of the track. With "When to leave?" to find the best window.

Ideal conditions or danger thresholds, first signal or model consensus — configure an alert that arrives at the right time without false positives.

Two complementary metrics: stability measures whether successive runs agree, accuracy (ERA5 MAE) measures whether the model has been precise on your point in the past.

Convergence, divergence, late swing — how to read the run curves and check them against the ERA5 reanalysis.

Is this month windier than usual? Will the coming summer be close to normal? The ERA5 archive and the SEAS5 seasonal model provide some answers.

Directional protection rose, 0–100 % comfort score over 3 days, EMODnet depth and seabed type — before dropping anchor, Solano works out whether the spot will be quiet.

GPS positions, heading, sail plan, point of sail and observations, shared with the crew — and your route's forecasts carried to sea, readable offline.
