Push notifications and text alerts would be great. As a rope access wind turbine technician I use Windy extensively, but it's a bit of a pain to have to check my email for alerts or setup some kind of email rule that would run and send me a different notification. Windy is one of the only weather apps I use anymore and the only reason I use any others is because they offer more user-friendly notifications.

Also, lightning alerts are a bit lacking in Windy. I love the interface for tracking storms and seeing recent strikes, but there isn't a way to get notifications about them. It would be immensely helpful if we could set a customizable radius that would trigger lightning alerts at the given distance. For my job, we are on alert when lightning is within 50 miles and we call a stop work when lightning is within 30. Having this available as a push notification or text message would make Windy all the much more valuable.

PS I've been preaching the wonders of Windy to all my co-workers and everyone seems to love it except that the notifications aren't that intuitive. Keep up good work!

As a rope access wind turbine technician, my work is highly dependent on the weather which makes Windy an invaluable tool. An issue I've run into is that I can only set alerts for surface wind speed—not gusts (i.e. max wind speed), nor at a specified elevation. It would be quite helpful to be able to set an alert for max wind speed at, say, 100m which is the average height for most on-shore wind turbines. It would also be great to be able to set alerts for wind OR rain OR whatever else. Thanks for all you guys do!

I've been a long-time user and huge fan of this app. I have almost no bad things to say about Windy, as it has served me well (within the limits of its capabilities) for quite a few years. One of the only down sides to this app is that the alerts only function with AND operators. Including alerts with the OR operator would be really outstanding. Here is a real-world example of how this would be extremely helpful:

As a rope access wind turbine technician, I can't work in certain weather conditions like high winds or rain. It's also nice to know if there are going to be extreme temperatures that we have to contend with. It would be beneficial to be able to set an individual alert for each of those conditions. Is it going to rain OR be super windy? With the way that Windy's alerts are currently setup, I can't get this information in a notification on my phone (thanks for adding push notifications!!)

It's particularly frustrating because I can't even place a second/third alert near the first one to simply create multiple alerts for the same location, because it just edits the first alert when you set another one within some relative distance.

For now, the push notifications will only help to find out if a single condition will manifest on any given day. There may be some very particular circumstances where you would want to know if it's going to be 13m/s+ wind AND raining AND over 100 degrees. But I would venture a guess that those circumstances come few and far between. However, knowing that it is going to rain tomorrow then be below freezing the next day would be much more beneficial to the everyday user.

Just the thoughts of a long-time fan and loyal user hoping to spur some kind of positive effect on an already excellent app.

Keep up the hard work!!

I've started having this same issue recently. My work takes me on the road frequently and I usually stay a distance from the work site so I set the widget location to the location of the site instead of my GPS location. When I change the widget settings back to GPS after leaving the job it will continue to show the previous location I had selected. I can refresh the widget and it will show the correct location for a short period of time but then revert back to the incorrect location again. I have location turned on, GPS location set to the startup location, and I've tried everything else I can think of and this issue persists. It's really frustrating that the only option I have at this time to fix the problem is to uninstall and reinstall the app. Hopefully this gets addressed soon.

@idefix37 That's a great workaround. I guess what I'm getting at is that having this flexibility as a feature would make the app more intrinsically valuable and functional. Looks like I'll have to give the multiple alerts thing another go for now. Also, being able to combine the alerts for a single location would be great because it wouldn't cause clutter in the alerts panel. As it stands, I have alerts set for about 30+ wind farms across the country. If I set three alerts for each of them I would go from thirty alerts to ninety.
