Custom Weather Notifications
Create your own weather rules and get notified when conditions match. Temperature thresholds, rain chances, wind speeds, you define what matters.
Build Your Own Rules
Temperature Triggers
Get alerts when temperature rises above or drops below your threshold. Perfect for gardeners and outdoor workers.
Rain and Snow Thresholds
Set thresholds on precipitation chance, rainfall amount, or snowfall amount so the number matters to your plans.
Wind Speed Monitoring
Alert when winds exceed your comfort level. Essential for cyclists, sailors, and drone pilots.
Multiple Locations
Each rule watches your current location or a place you pick, so home, work, and a vacation spot can each have their own.
10-20 Custom Rules
Standard subscribers get 10 rules. Pro subscribers get 20. Enough to cover all your weather needs.
You Pick the Time
Each rule checks the forecast at a time of day you choose, so it reaches you when you can still act on it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions can I set alerts for?
You can create rules for temperature, feels-like temperature, precipitation chance, precipitation amount, snowfall amount, humidity, wind speed, wind gust, and UV index. Each rule watches one of those values against a threshold you set, and you choose the time of day it checks.
How do custom alerts differ from weather warnings?
NWS weather warnings are issued by the government for dangerous conditions. Custom alerts are personal thresholds you define, like getting notified when temperature drops below freezing or wind exceeds 20 mph.
Can I set location-based alerts?
Yes. Each rule watches either your current location or a place you search for, so you can set different thresholds for home, work, or a travel destination.
