Alerts & warnings
Show official weather warnings on your site and get email alerts when readings cross a threshold.
Pro Weather can keep you and your visitors informed two ways: severe-weather warnings shown on your public site, and email alerts sent to you when your own station crosses a threshold you set.
Severe-weather warnings on your site
When enabled, your site shows official severe-weather warnings for your station's area as a banner, colour-coded yellow, orange or red by severity. Warnings come from MeteoAlarm (Europe) and the US National Weather Service, depending on where your station is.
Turn this on under Settings → Weather features → Severe-weather warnings. It needs your station's location, which comes from WeatherLink.
Email alerts
Email alerts notify you (the site owner) when one of your station's readings crosses a threshold you choose: frost warnings, gale gusts, heavy rain and more. Readings are checked on every data refresh, and you get one email per episode: an alert re-arms once the value drops back out of the zone, so you won't be flooded.
Email alerts are part of the Pro plan (and your free trial).
Setting up an alert
- Open your site in the dashboard and go to Alerts.
- Under Alert me when, choose a metric and enter a threshold.
- Choose Add alert.
You can add up to 10 alerts per site, toggle each one on or off, and delete the ones you no longer need. Alerts are emailed to your account's email address.
Things you can alert on
- Temperature above a value
- Temperature below a value
- Wind gust above a value
- Rain today above a value
- Rain rate above a value
- PM2.5 above a value (with an AirLink sensor)
Monthly summary
Site owners also receive an automatic monthly station summary by email, a recap of the previous month's conditions and records, sent at the start of each month once your site has collected enough data.
