SayWeather Online is a subscription-based web service that complements SayWeather and provides even more convenience and confidence for airport owner-operators and pilots alike.
For text alerts to weather changes by user-defined-threshold, simply type the airport identifier, followed by “t” (for text) then the weather parameter abbrev-iation, then the condition: (<, >) & #.
Use the abbreviations below to request a SayWeather Online conditional alert.
| Parameter | Designator | Threshold Options | Example | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wind | W | <, >, XX (knots) | KANY t w<30 | Text if winds at airport KANY are below 30 kts |
| Gusts | G | <, >, XX (knots) | KAny t G>20 | Text if gusts at airport KANY exceed 20 kts |
| Wind Direction | WD | = “N”, “E”, “S”, “W” | KANY T Wd=N |
The N,E,S,W “bands” are cardinal direction plus or minus 30 degrees. Text is wind at KANY is reported to be any direction between 330 and 030 degrees. |
| Temperature | T | <, >, +/-XX (°C) | KAny t>0 kany e t>10 | Text if temperature at airport KANY is greater than 0°C AND email if temperature exceeds 10°C |
| Dew Point Spread | DS | <, >, X (°C) | Kany t dp>1 | Text if the temperature – dew point spread at airport KANY is greater than 1°C |
| Altimeter | A | <, >, XXXX (in Hg × 100) | KAny T A<2992 | Text if altimeter setting at airport KANY is less than 29.92 in Hg |
| Density Altitude | DA | <, >, XXXXX (feet) | KANY T DA>10000 | Text if density altitude at airport KANY is greater than 10,000 ft. |
| Precipitation Rate | PR | <, >, “L”, “M”, “H” | Kany t pr>H | Error text sent – precip rate cannot be greater than “Heavy” (“+”) |
| Visibility | V | <, >, XX (statute miles) | KANY T V>1 kany T V>2 | Text if visibility at airport KANY is greater than 1 SM and text again if visibility is greater than 2 SM |
| Ceiling | C | <, >, XXXXX (feet) | Any t c>1000 | Text if ceiling (lowest broken or overcast layer) at airport KANY exceeds 1000 ft. |
| Sky Condition | S | <, >, X (oktas) | An t S>2 | Error text sent – invalid airport code – this parameter implementation is TBD – not implemented in initial version. |
