      Hey All!

      It would be handy if I could see pressure in the weekly forecast. And, it would be great if I could set alerts for it.

      I have a disability made worse by POTS* which is influenced by low barometric pressure. It would be great if windy could give me heads up about the pressure forecast so I can prepare for low pressure days.

      • POTS = Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. For me, I have more the OI, Orthostatic Intolerance, aspect of this which means if I sit up or stand up my blood pressure falls too low and my heart rate increases attempting to compensate. Basically I have to wear compression clothing, consume a lot of salt, and take meds to keep my blood pressure high enough so I can stand. Atmospheric pressure influences me enough to have a pretty big effect. For perspective my clothes are rated in mmHg and 10-15mmHg makes a big difference.

      • Folks on the East Coast, and in the South of the US with POTS get steamrollered every time a hurricane comes through and a heads up for low pressure would be super helpful for them too.

      Warm Regards,
      Beans

        Hi, there no alert for pressure. But pressure forecast is displayed in the detailed forecast panels.

          Thank you! Until now I hadn't seen that there were different forecast panels! This is fantastic!

          I'm still hoping they will add an alert option for pressure though.
