      Hello,
      how can I set a push notification for a weather warning in the smartphone app for my current location? Or is it possible only for my favourites?

        Yes you need to add your location in your list of favorites.

          Thank you,
          and when I change my location, I have to mark it as my favourite or works it automatically?
          I have to configure the specifications when ever I change my location?
          There is no default?

            If you change frequently your location then it’s tricky. There is no default setting for the current location.

              Ok, but I think, that is standard in a lot of other weather apps. It's a little bit disappointing for a premium account.

                If your location is set by GPS and you move in a road trip, how can the Alerts could be useful? When you receive an alert for heavy rain in the next 3 days, you will be already far away. Alerts are only useful if you stay several days in the same place.

                  Hm...
                  if I make a roadtrip vom A to B and the weather in A is ok and in B it will be very stormy short after my arrival, there will be no alert because I have not put B to my favourites and configure a new notification?
                  So I have to stay 3 days in B until it works?

                    Windy alerts don’t work for the next 3 hours. They are useful for the next 5 days. Which don’t mean that you must stay at same place during 5 days !
