<![CDATA[How to set up a Windy Alert]]>On Windy.com or on your mobile app, select any place in the world and click on "Alert for this spot":

_center_shadow

Set up the weather conditions for Wind, Waves, Rain, New snow, and Temperature + overall weather that you want to meet. If you like, you can even rename your alert (optional).

Please note, the criteria operator is "AND" – which means that ALL the conditions must be met (not only some of them) in order for you to receive an email alert.

When your conditions are met, you will receive a nice email:

But not only that. When you are logged in, you can check all your favorite spots at www.windy.com/favs and see whether your conditions are met:

If you suspect you are not receiving alerts that do meet ALL the conditions, please send us the ID of the alert(s) via info@windy.com

You can read the ID at the bottom of the particular alert settings (Favorites >> "Edit alert" >> "ID of this alert: ..... "), or alternatively in its URL.

It is in the “Clouds, aviation” layer category.

This is because you need to click on the weather picker to display the location name in the search bar name and see the small heart appearing.

There is an overlay available for cloud tops, but not for cloud base. Is that correct?

I don't get a Favorites icon next to the Search Bar as shown in all the examples. Can you please advise?

It is not possible to set an alert for Wind gusts, only for Wind which is the averaged wind over 10 minutes.

• Conditions are toggled on, ranges don’t overlap, and durations/day filters are set.
• The location is saved as a Favorite.
• One alert shows as blue (active), but any additional alerts for the same spot stay grey or crossed out, even though they’re configured correctly.

It looks like the app is still limiting me to one active alert per favorite location. Is this a bug, or am I missing a setting to allow multiple alerts to run simultaneously?

Is it possible to set and alarm for sea temperature. I can find sea temperature in layers - but not as an option for an alarm.

Best wishes

Peter

Right now I can only choose days that have "at least" X mm of rain. I want zero mm of rain for my BBQ! Thank you

I'm asking for new snowfall in the next x amount of days. Hope this helps clear up any confusion, thanks for the reply.

I am a skier looking to set up a new snow notification for the future (like sending me a notification if a certain resort/location is forecasted to receive X in of new snow in the next 5 days). Is this a current feature? If not, could I request it to be? Thank you!

This is sometimes more important than the middle wind strength.

Is it possible to set up an alert that isn't specific to a single location?
For example in my case, I'd be interested in getting an alert when a wet bulb temperature in excess of 35°C is set to happen anywhere on the planet.
