Flowx started out as a fun side project named WeatherBomb in late 2012. The change came in 2016 when we (myself, my wife Sally, and our boys) moved to the tropical island of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. We transformed WeatherBomb into Flowx and began work on making it our livelihood. We are proud of Flowx development over the years, and are excited about continuing to improve and provide new features and data.
Duane is the engineer behind the Flowx code and the one answering user emails. While many users assume he's a meteorologist making weather predictions, he's actually just the messenger - all credit goes to the meteorological organizations that solve the complex weather models. Duane loves to think, dream, and build cool things.
Sally is our super organiser - she dots the i's and crosses the t's for Duane. She manages the business stuff and helps out wherever needed.
And finally, a big THANKS to all the people and organizations that have helped Flowx get this far.
