<![CDATA[How to setup an alert for *no rain* ?]]>Re : How to set up Windy Alert

Hello,

I set alerts with "0 ml" of rain for 24h, but I receive alerts even rain is in forecast...
I wonder how to receive alerts only when there is no rain at all for 24h... How to do please ?

BTW : thanks so much for this amazing Windy system ! :-D

Best Regards,
Guy

surely now is an ideal time for this to be implemented given the migration to a new alerts notification system?

I don't want an alert to go kitesurfing if it's gonna rain, or worse, there will be a thunderstorm.
You already have alerts in place, you already have the "at least" threshold for rain. How hard can it be to add an "at most" option?

I won't renew my subscription if this isn't implemented.

Pretty useless as it is for outdoor sports.

I hope that there will be possible to set multiple alerts for one place, each with different conditions, for example:

  • alert if temperature is below 0C
  • if it's above/equal 30C
  • if there is heavy rain
  • if snows
  • if wind blows
  • etc....

I know it's probably out of scope, but it would be super helpful if that update of alerts was able to include filters on wind direction, minimum cloud ceiling, and visibility. Those would be really useful features for flying alongside the ability to filter on the "maximum rain".

As a new premium user. I need a "maximum rain" option. The actual "at least" is useless for mayority of users, excepts farmers

A poor work around has been to not select the fully cloudy under maximum clouds option in the temperature, weather alert but to select the other 3 options. Not perfect but works most of the time.

after a year this is still not implemented.

You wanted to collect user input and the come up with something.
Your alerts are useless for all the pilots and people who rely on dry surfaces.

The only thing the "at least" function you have is worth something is as farmer or if you want to ride powder.

Please, finally implement a "no rain for X" or a "at max" feature for rain alerts!

I would rather say alert me when no or little rain is due, not the other way :)

Indeed, it's for doing outdoor activities: such and such wind, and NO rain...

Would be VERY useful to have.

For most outdoor activities/sports where wind or weather in general is important (that's why you have the alert function, right?), it makes more sense to have a no rain or max rain alert.

My wild guess would be it's just a very small minority of people who would activate an alert and say "ok, i'll just go out hiking/kiting/flying/sailing/fishing when it rains at least 5mm for three hours." 🤔

Might be different though for farmers and the like.

Once we collect more feedbacks from users, we will think about the best design possible.

It is nice to know it is in your to-do list, but we understand the adequate interface for Alert construction is not an easy design job to do and it will almost certainly look either too complicated or too limiting. Somebody wants ''at least'', other want ''no more than''. Somebody wants ''AND'', other want ''OR''...
I have a suggestion:
Why don't you guys publish the RULES, which people could use directly in their URLs to construct their Alerts the way they need? Or just give an additional text control where capable people could write something SQL-like.
Like me - I'd prefer minimum rain rather than ''no rain''. And also, since the forecast is changing with the time, it would be great to have the alert time configurable.
Thanks!

The "no rain" criteria would be quite helpfull. I'd assume most people who use this app are checking aviation weather.

I think you need an alert for "up to 0mm of rain" instead of "at least 0mm of rain".
