<![CDATA[From Storm Alerts to Forecasts on Your Garmin: Windy’s Biggest Update Yet]]>Version 46 is here and it's packed with features designed to give you earlier warnings, sharper visuals, and new ways to stay prepared on the go.

Let’s dive into what’s new. 💡

⚠️ Live Rain & Storm Alerts

We've launched Live Alerts, developed by us and driven by real-time changes in weather conditions. So that you're always one step ahead.

🌩️ Storm Alerts
Triggered by lightning activity detected within roughly an hour of your location. These alerts use multiple trusted data sources and are fine-tuned to warn you when a storm is on the way.

☔️ Rain Alerts
Powered by real-time radar data, we detect short-term precipitation trends and alert you just before rain starts, including its expected intensity. 🌧️

ℹ️ How to turn Live Alerts ON?

For our pro users and weather geeks: You can now set your own color scale for the dew point layer. Fine-tune the map to your preferences and get clearer insight into moisture and heat stress conditions.

We would be very happy to bring Windy to all your Garmin devices, but sadly, there are some limitations that we are not able to overcome. Have a nice day, Niki

Do you use any custom launcher on your device, or anything similar? We tested a lot on these devices and there is no issue on our end.

Hello, there is still the bug on my mobile app that doesn't allow me to use the 3-dot 'more' in the lower right of the satellite image. I cannot change the time duration or the satellite type. The last two updates have changed what happens when I touch 'more' - nowcthe app closes. Samsung Galaxy 24+, Android. I've reported this 2× to staff.

I'm really happy with these features and cannot wait to test out the live alerts as well.

Might I suggest that the Live Alerts section isn't quite clear, and might need an UI tweak to make the separation between the Live Alerts and the "normal" Alerts more visible.

The weather station widget is very helpful. Thanks to the Windy Team for all of the work put in.

A suggestion for a future update:

When viewing a forecast model for a location, the web version of Windy has the time since the model was last updated in the footer, just to the right of the ‘Compare’ button.

I find this very helpful when comparing forecast models to see which has been updated more recently, right in the forecast itself.

It would be great to expand this last updated time to the mobile apps in the forecast, as well in the ‘Compare’ forecast view in both mobile and web versions. As Meteoblue doesn’t have a map visualisation, there doesn’t currently appear to be a way to see when it was last updated in the iOS version.

Kind Regards,

We will see what we can do about it in the future, alarms are not included inside the Watch Face and Widget for Garmin, at least just not yet :-) Have a nice day, Niki

That the application could take into account a Premium Profile in order to avoid taking out my phone to have a more precise weather forecast. Hoping that the option arrives soon on Garmin (Fenix ​​7).

And I don't see the alerts on my Garmin Fenix ​​7 Apk. Version of June 15, 25
