Interesting – @Steve6443 how do you effectively use DWD on flights outside of Germany and the alps (as Alpenflugwetter is indeed included)?I found that on my international flights, I wasn’t happy with the level of detail I could find on DWD. Last year, I began using paid short term subscriptions for topmeteo when flying abroad.
First things first, a few days in advance I’d start looking at the Meteogram → Europe and select a few stations near where you will be flying. Look at the expected visibility and cloud coverage. Usually, you can tell 2 – 3 days ahead whether the flight will be a go / no go. On the morning of the flight, I’d then plot the METARS and TAFs for the route and review them. Finally, just before takeoff I’d update the GAFOR on Sky Map which uses DWD data from my subscription. This, for example, shows me the routes through the Alps and whether they can be flown VFR…….
