Overview
The Weather Alerts system monitors conditions at your dive locations and automatically notifies you and your booked divers if wave height or wind speed exceeds your set thresholds. A live Windy weather map is embedded in your Dashboard and Trip Manifest.
Setting Up Weather Alerts
- Go to Business Settings → Weather Alerts.
- Enter your primary dive location — type a place name, marina name, or paste GPS coordinates.
- Set your wave height threshold in metres. Typical: 1.0–1.5 m for recreational diving.
- Set your wind speed threshold in knots. Typical: 15–20 knots for day boats; lower for smaller RIBs.
- Toggle Auto-notify divers ON to automatically send a weather warning to all divers booked on trips within the next 48 hours when conditions are forecast to breach your thresholds.
- Click Save.
The Windy Map
- A live Windy.com map is embedded in your Dashboard and on every Trip Manifest page.
- Toggle between Wind, Wave height, and Sea surface temperature layers using the controls on the right.
- Click any point on the map for a precise 5-day forecast for that location.
Understanding Alerts
- Alerts are based on forecast data updated every 3 hours.
- You receive an email and in-app notification when conditions are predicted to breach thresholds.
- Auto-notified divers receive an email with the weather forecast and your contact details.
- You can send a manual broadcast to divers if you decide to cancel or reschedule a trip.
