What UsersAre Saying
WeatherTAP has been amazing for peace of mind with the ability to bring up storm tracks and cell progression overlaid with custom locations for different places I care about (my house, dad’s house, work, etc.)
We are a general aviation airport and use weatherTAP for our in-terminal building weather needs, running full-time on a public view monitor in our passenger lounge and available on a PC in the Pilot’s Lounge for flight planning. We are very satisfied with the service. Highly recommend it.
WeatherTAP gives me the analytical tools I need to make informed decisions regarding the protection of my community. Your new dashboards allow me to view multiple tools simultaneously while also allowing me to access external tools with the click of a mouse.
Both professionally and personally since I retired after 30 years as a newspaper reporter, I use weatherTAP, seemingly every day, mostly for radar and forecasts.
I use weatherTAP for personal reasons but it is also a valuable tool for use as a volunteer for our County Emergency Management Agency. I can access it anywhere by for or ANY computer. No specialized software required. WeatherTAP is easily customized to suit my needs—what I wish to display and how I wish to see it. All of that makes it a great tool.
I probably use weatherTAP four out of seven days during “regular” weather. It is my go-to for thunderstorms and hurricanes.
See For Yourself.
