@idefix37 said in Request - Upcoming Precipitation Alert:

@trailcat
If you set an alert for at least 1mm during 3h, don’t you think you set the alert for the upcoming precipitation ?

It doesn't say upcoming anywhere. It says the rain must accumulate within a period of 3 hours. Doesn't sound predictive to me, sounds like the rain must be measurable.

I see that I can set alerts for rain accumulation for a period of time, but I don't see a way of setting an alert for upcoming precipitation for my current location. This would be helpful for outdoor activities such as hiking.

I used Carrot Weather in the past which had this feature and it did a pretty good job.

@korina What is the current URL format?

@korina I'd like to open the Windy app from some of the ios add shortcuts and widgets I build. For example with YouTube I use youtube://.

I'm interested in this as well. Is there a schema for windy?

@idefix37 When you say POI, do you mean a location such as a city? Because the nearest location I can save is the one that is 10 miles away at a much lower elevation. This is why I think it would great if we can save a weather station as a favorite. This was something I was able to do with Weather Underground.

@idefix37 That doesn't work on my end. I do set a weather station as a favorite and I see it in my favorite list, but I do not see it as an option in the start-up location.

I do see a message in the start-up location which says:

Add any location to your favorites to see it in the list.

I can confirm that this only works for locations saved as favorites - not weather stations saved as favorites.

There is a local weather station which shows more accurate data than the closest city weather data which is about 10 miles away and at a much lower elevation.

Any chance for a new feature which would allow us to set a weather station as the default location on startup?

I was wondering if I still need to purchase a Professional API subscription if I share my weather station data with Windy. All I really would like to do is use the API to show a customized map on my weather station website.

I already share my weather data with Aeris Weather and they provide me with free access to their API as long as my weather station data does not go stale.

This would not be for commercial use, only personal use.
