Paraglidable

Paraglidable is an AI-powered forecasting service created and hosted by Antoine, a paragliding enthusiast based in France, since 2018. It helps pilots assess whether weather conditions are suitable for flying and how promising a day may be for cross-country (XC) flights. The service analyzes around 200 weather parameters, including precipitation, cloud cover, wind at different altitudes, and humidity, then presents forecasts as clear scores and probabilities.

Its artificial neural network is trained on ten years of archived weather data and approximately two million reported flights. For current predictions, it draws on forecasts from sources including NOAA, ECMWF, and Météo France, and compares weather patterns with flight records from databases such as XContest and DHV-XC.

Users can explore forecasts for locations and flying spots on an interactive map, review upcoming days, and access past data. Paraglidable also offers a free API for integrating forecasts into websites, services, or applications, with JSON and XML formats and a limit of ten spots per key.
