      Hello all.
      I'm curious if it's possible to set a beep for an upcoming storm to a specific location? For example: I'm in Graz and I'm getting a beep that a storm is coming. Is it possible to do that? I'm sorry if this topic has already been

        @vuledu Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment.

          Hi,
          I would like to suggest that we could have access to global weatherwarnings like a newsticker. The actual way is not very smart. Do I want to get information from TV in the first place when I´m premium in Windy?
          All big wheather-extremes in this summer (Spain, Greece, Italy etc.) weren´t really pointed out in the Windy app. This feels not really snappy to me.

            @Pillemann I didn't mean it like that on TV. I thought the app would ring with a beep and a short message that bad weather was coming. Or to announce the day before that there might be a storm in a particular location.

              @vuledu Do any of the alert options for a chosen location satisfy what you're looking for? You can set it for a number of conditions (rain, wind, temp, etc.).

                I didn´t mean it should to be like on TV. Weatherwarnings should be BETTER in Windy THAN TV.
                I know I can open the weatherwarning layer, which I have to select, decrease the size of the map and than look for the warnings around the globe. It´s just not snappy. My wish is that I could read somewhere in Windy like a Blog or a newsticker that a wheatherextreme is coming for that or that region in the world -> then I would open the map (perhaps with a link) and look for it.
                I think weatherwarnings are one of the weakest points of Windy.

                  The local warnings are already available in Windy at opening.

                  17EE7614-9A8C-4BD5-A4D4-F0FAF6A7AA8E.jpeg

                  When clicking them you get more information

                  A405EF9A-180F-4063-B06E-4AC60BEF7D70.jpeg

                  But may be it is not available in every country.
                  It is based on the Weather warnings layer.

                  But these warnings only highlight a risk. They cannot give the alert 10 minutes before a storm in a specific location. If that's what you need, it would require further development based on radar and lightning provider data.

                    Hi idefix37,
                    this is not exactly what I mean.
                    I want to know about weatherextremes worldwide. From flooding to fire to storm -> not by the weatherwarning layer but by written text. To get some local wheatherwarnings isn´t the deal for me. It´s just okay. I wouldn´t get notified when I don´t live in your town. That´s simply behind "premium".
                    Think in global climate dimensions and we surely will get knocked by extremeweather in future. I want to see that.

                    For example Zürich. It´s orange in weatherwarning layer. But when I open the normal wind layer and look at Zürich I will not get an extra warning by default.

                    zürich.jpg zürich 2.jpg

                    There´s nothing popping up. That´s what I miss.

                    zürich 3.jpg

                    The orange field is a link which leads to this:

                      But it was @vuledu's request that opened the topic. Sorry, my message should not have been addressed to you.
                      However, wanting to be notified of all catastrophic events in the world, I doubt it would be easy to obtain a data source on this subject.
                      You can at least look at the Extreme Weather layer, which provides a good estimate of extreme wind, temperature, and rain forecasts compared to normal climate.

                        Hi and thx for your efforts.
                        Maybe I have derailed the thread slightly. Hopefully the devs will consider a clearer way in future releases. Like it is now, it´s not the quickest way and just feels like a workaround.

                            So you get it.
                            And you want a “beep” in addition ?

                              @idefix37 To appear a pop-up window on the lock screen,. I think it can be done for mobile devices.
                              I hope you understand what I mean.
