  @vicstormchaser said in How to set up a Windy Alert: Found the alert pop up but there's nothing for storms. Are there plans for the storm warnings from the Bureau to be passed on in the future? I am also very interested in this feature. Is it possible to set this up on the app?

  This following text is from our member jmh2002 Thank you for your post. Unfortunately the place names are not controlled by Windy. Please see the following posts about how the map data for Windy is sourced and displayed from www.openstreetmap.org: https://community.windy.com/topic/4649/how-to-correct-errors-in-the-base-maps https://community.windy.com/topic/5564/disputed-territories-on-windy Please also note: For every language, a different place name label can be displayed, so please choose your correct language and data display. Further discussion of place name and language issues or disputes should be directed to the OpenStreetMap Forum here: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/index.php > scroll down & select > users: (the relevant country for your dispute and/or question) In the case of a political dispute please leave such topics out of the Windy forum and instead focus on the discussion of weather. Thank you :)

  Historical data would be very useful indeed! Especially for winds.

  Be aware. Russian "Windy" app uses our name and want you to pay for nothing.

  @idefix37 said in How to read the Surfing spots: @arshjaksd These colors depict the height of waves, more exactly the significant height. The scale in the low right corner of your screen shows the height of the waves according to the colors. You can choose the units, meters or feet. Thanks a lot, I didn't know that,

  Irrelevant if there is 200mph or 300mph, but it's really important if it's under 10, 20 or 40 knots...
