        This is probably because you set an Alert for this wind force range.
        Could you show a screenshot of your alert setting.

          @habousha Also you can adjust this text in the alert setup, so if this is not okay for you, please visit the alert setting and change it in your account.

            Yes it was possible to edit the text of the alert, but checking it again I see it’s no longer possible to do it.

              @Suty ok thank you for the information, but i don't understand why windy say a range of strength between 2 an 12 bft and not the reality? it easy for everyone to say you will have a wind force between 2 and 9 or 10 or 12 bft....

                i don't understand why windy say a range of strength between 2 an 12 bft and not the reality?

                Because it is the Alert you have set. Windy alert system tells the user whether conditions will be good or bad in the coming days, based on his settings.
                It is not providing information about the wind strength in a given location every 3 hours.

                I set a similar example of a 2 to 12 Bft alert in Brittany.
                You will find that these conditions will happen almost every day, every hour.

                The red bars and the small bells indicate when the alert conditions are met.

                The alert system is not designed to inform the user of current wind speed.

                My personal settings at this location is an alert for wind speeds between 7 and 12 Bft, as 7Bft and more is the wind speed range in which it is best for a light sailboat to remain sheltered in a harbour.
