      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.

      _center_shadow
      _center_shadow
      _center_shadow
      _center_shadow
      _center_shadow
      _center_shadow

      Add your time preferences (hours, days, duration) and the email address where you wish to receive your alerts.

      _center_shadow
      _center_shadow

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

      _center_shadow

      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:

      _center_shadow

      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.

        I don't have the Alert option (only favorites). Do I need to upgrade and where do I do that?

                  Are the alert criterias like AND or OR criterias ?

                  Example : i want an alert when wind OR rain (hence two causes of alerts), not for wind AND alert (hence one alert only if there is both wind and rain)

                      Request for feature: Often I want a different alert times for the weekends, such as all day, compared to the weekday where I'm only interested in the evening weather. Could you make a feature where times are chosen in relation to weekdays?

                        Hey, I can't set up alerts on my phone? There was a setting when I first set it up and now it's gone?

                          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?

                              You get a badge on your mobile when you have an alert. On this screenshot, I received 1 alert.

                              E26CD58C-4AC6-4925-A241-272389413C8B.jpeg

                              Then click on it to get the alert detail.

                                Is this app capable of sending text alerts in regards to wind speed?

                                    This is clearly explained at top of this thread. It is shown what type of email you receive when your wind alert is to be reached. Just try it !

                                          Since the Alerts are an "AND" condition. How do I set up multiple alerts? I would like one for Wind, Rain and Snow. I want a separate alert for each element. Not when all 3 elements reach my threshold.

                                            Just wondering if it's possible to setup an alert for cloud cover i.e high cloud over a specific area during a specific time ( 5-7pm)

                                            I'm a photographer and this would be super handy
