      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

          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?

                    Alerts are triggered by values shown in Meteogram of the favorite location, and so these are local time.

                            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
                            Fritz

                                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

                                  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 :(

                                      @javiclayton Thank you for feedback. Alerts are currently only available for ECMWF model, but we may add more model options in the future.

                                        Is it possible to set alerts based on real time data from airport weather stations instead of forecasts?

                                          @mvanhove Hello, it is not possible to set alert based on measured data from stations or airports.

                                            Hi,
                                            I have the same issue regarding the model selection in the Switzerland. AROME seem to be the best here for wind.
