How to set up a Windy Alert
-
@jidanni
So I don’t know why you still receive alerts if your favorite is not set for an alert. I suggest that you delete this alert (not only suspend it) and set the alert later again. Your list of favorites should look to the picture above. -
Cloud setting in the alert does not seem to be working properly. Setting full cloudiness or no cloudiness produces the same result.

@pi3-141592 Hello, could you please share an example?
-
@korina I selected a clear sky in the alert settings.
I received an alert where you can see full cloud cover.
I am quite surprised. -
I would like to add that for the icon model, the symbolic notation (cloud, sun) of cloudiness is not consistent with the cloud cover plot (in the attached example, we observe a cloudless sky).
-
@pi3-141592 Hello, the grey shades are linked to relative humidity, not cloud cover. More info here - https://community.windy.com/topic/14827/how-to-read-meteogram/7

@pi3-141592
Thank you for the quick reply. I have read the content of the page to which you sent me a link. I think I was misunderstood. The attached figure shows that the cloud cover (3-5 km high) is adequately reflected in the pictograms at the top of the graphic only in two cases. The case with question marks is not understandable to me.

@pi3-141592 The bug has been fixed. The alerts are now working properly. Thanks a lot!

Hi there. I have a need to set up two different alerts for the same location. How can I do it? The examples are simple: I need a warning alert when high speed wind for 3 hours in a row blows from north (making it cold and dangerous). And I need another cheering alert when such a strong wind blows for more than 6 hours but from south! Those are different situations and I need separate alerts.

Hi,
The workaround is to set 2 independent alerts close to your location.

The time scale, is UTC? Or local time?
-
@victorbenetti
Alerts are triggered by values shown in Meteogram of the favorite location, and so these are local time. -
@idefix37 thank you so much..

I don't know how to set up a windy alert. How do you do it?

@master-hacker Hello, the complete guide is above, please have a look at the steps.

Hi,
thanks for this alarm option. I would be really nice if you give us the option to select the forecast model for the alarm. Otherwise I cant use it in the alps (Small Grid Windforecast Icon-d2) EMWCF doesnt work for me.
Best regards

@fizzo Thank you for the feedback, we will think about it.
-
I have set the wind alert both as a notification and as an email message for a location on my Samsung S20 phone but still I am not receiving any notification. Obviously I have enabled all permissions.
Thanks -
@skipper65
Did you set a wind alert plus other parameters? If you set several conditions there is less chance to get an alert.
And you must ‘save’ your setting at bottom of the Alert setting panel. -
@cuezco, yeah I was happily using Windy alerts in Ireland with the ECMFW model working nicely there, but now in Canada these alerts are useless. Unlike HRRR, that model is not accurate at all here. I can only get alerts generated by ECMFW modeling, and these are always wrong in this region :(
