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, colour-coded by severity:
- Yellow — Be aware
- Orange — Be prepared
- Red — Take action
Warnings appear as a compact banner that visitors can expand for details or dismiss for their visit — and the banner is simply hidden when nothing is active. Warnings come from MeteoAlarm (the official European network, covering nearly every European country) or the US National Weather Service, depending on where your station is, and refresh about every 10 minutes. In the US, warnings are matched to your station's exact coordinates; in Europe, they cover your station's country.
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 — about every 10 minutes — and you get one email per episode: an alert re-arms only once the value drops back out of the zone (and waits at least 30 minutes between emails), so a value hovering around your threshold won't flood your inbox.
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
Thresholds use your site's unit system:
- Temperature above a value (°C / °F)
- Temperature below a value (°C / °F)
- Wind gust above a value (km/h / mph)
- Rain today above a value (mm / in)
- Rain rate above a value (mm/h / in/h)
- PM2.5 above a value (µg/m³, with an AirLink sensor)
Monthly summary
Pro subscribers also receive an automatic monthly station summary by email in the first days of each month: the previous month's warmest day, average high, coldest night, total rain, rain days and strongest gust. It's sent once the month has at least a week of measured days.
