      Hello, my interest is in "Bushland Fire Weather Conditions Alerts', already the wonderful Windy.com has alerts for specific locations with Wind speed range, duration of daylight hours, temperature range and rainfall accumulation. I work as a bushland fire planner and would find the additional settings a valuable planning tool.

      QUESTION 1. ; Is it possible to have the rainfall accumulation range setting extend to 240 hours (10 days) ?

      QUESTION 2. ; Is it possible to have a relative humidity setting like the temperature setting ?

      QUESTION 3. ; Is it possible to have a mixing height setting like the temperature setting ?

      QUESTION 4. ; Is it possible to have a dew point setting like the temperature setting ?

      QUESTION 5. ; Is it possible to have the Ground Moisture Keetch - Byram Drought Indices KBDI and Drought Factor DF Forest (Forest fuel dryness factor) ?

      Cheers Mel

        @coop4433 Hello, we already display data fro Drought, you can learn more about new layers here.

        Rain accumulation is available for next 10 days.

        Could you please describe what do you mean by "like temperature setting"?

          Hi and thankyou for responding.

          I mean the same setting already in 'My Alerts' can be used for RH, MH, DP KBDI, DF and rainfall for 10 days as the setting slide bar that windy already has within the Temperature selection (see my snips).

          What Windy currently does is great I'd just like to see additional weather conditions ( added to the selections. This would be an invaluable tool for fire management planning of wildfires and planned burns in preparedness. I'm sure you already know all the links below and I've pasted yo give you an idea what we work with. I'm very happy to work through any of this with further questions.

            @coop4433 Hi, thank you for additional tips. At the moment, you can get information about fires with Fire intensity layers or overlay Active fires.
