Can the 'Colourize by type of danger' toggle button setting please be added to the URL string?

I would like to save a favourite in my browser and go directly to my preferred view.

Thanks :)

I think you must keep the green colour code for areas with no sign. weather
(No special awareness required)
cause now we don't know if a "gray" colour means
"no awarness required" or "no data".

Yes I agree. To be absolutely clear (especially when looking at a large area overview like I posted above) it would be be good to have 2 more colour schemes:

• No Warnings reported
• No Data available

but... Very Good work so far Windy Team!

I do have two first up questions:
1/ Does the warning regions extend into the southern hemisphere? From what I have seen recently, the only regions highlighting warning outlooks are across the northern hemisphere. I like the weather here in Australia, but I would have thought there would be some warning thresholds met for the southern hem.

Today I do see some warnings in the southern hemisphere:

• A small craft advisory for wind in the Solomons (Sender: Solomon Islands Meteorological Services)

• A small craft advisory for swell in Samoa (Sender: none)

Other warning sources (picked at random) come up as follows, so it looks like the individual met office is responsible for sending this data to whatever central source(s) that Windy is using:

• Sender: NWS Glasgow MT
• Sender: NWS Seattle WA
• Sender: AGENCIA ESTATAL DE METEOROLOGIA
• Sender: Italian Air Force National Meteorological Service
• Sender: ZAMG Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics
• Sender: Гидрометцентр России
• etc

it seems that warnings of german weather service DWD are not part of this layer?
https://www.dwd.de/DE/wetter/warnungen_gemeinden/warnWetter_node.html
Am i right?

PS: But they could.. https://opendata.dwd.de/weather/alerts/cap/COMMUNEUNION_DWD_STAT/
https://www.dwd.de/DE/leistungen/opendata/help/warnungen/dwd_warnings_products_overview_en_pdf.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=3

[kekert]

@tomber42 yes, those are missing so far

[idefix37]

@kekert
Same for Switzerland?
Have tried with Eumetnet.
http://eumetnet.eu
As they gather data for this website:
https://www.meteoalarm.eu/index.php?lang=en_UK

[kekert]

@idefix37 Nope, Switzerland data are shown. Take a look, there are some active warnings now ...

[idefix37]

@kekert

Right !
However today Windy show only warnings for rain and wind in Switzerland.

When at same time Meteo Swiss have in addition warnings for Avalanches, Fire and Flood.

Is it because you can’t display several warnings in one region?

I don't have a complete answer for you, but multiple warnings in a particular zone/region are actually displayed - only one colour still, but multiple icons if you are zoomed in - and you can even see this in your screenshot where the green colour scheme around Zermatt shows icons for both wind and rain.

We are taking the data for Europe from Meteoalarm and the info about avalanches is not there as well. It seems that the CapAlerts are not issued for avalanches in Switzerland. The avalanche warnings are only available on MeteoSwiss website. Not sure why their are not providing those information as CapAlert.

@tomslavkovsky
OK it’s clear now. Thanks for your answer.

hmm,but on meteoalarm german warnings are available http://www.meteoalarm.eu/de_GE/0/0/DE-Deutschland.html
..but not on windy?

@tomber42
German feed had different structure, now it was added too.

[BW_controlroom]

Good Morning Ladies and Gents,

So I played with the alarms a little bit and asked myself if it is possible to combine the weather warnings with the common windy alarms?

Best Regards

@ivo

Can this small change be made possible please?

[Joerg78]

Seems like there are some issues with Germany. This is the current status in windy:
And this is the warning map on the Homepage of the DWD (German meteorological service):
All these warnings (except some regions in the east) have at least the second highest warning level.

@Joerg78
Hello, thank you for reporting this!
It seems there was data outage for weather alerts. We will have a look.
