Multiple weather warnings are in place as storm season kicks in. Do you know where to find severe weather warnings in the Weather & Radar app?

When there is severe weather, which can be due to the presence of thunderstorms, storms (strong winds), heavy rain or ice, a severe weather warning banner will appear under the weather right now feature on the home page of the app.

There are two types of alerts: nowcast warnings (short-range) and forecast warnings (triggered by forecast models up to three days ahead).

If you tap on the severe weather warning banner, the app will redirect you to our severe weather warnings map. Push notifications may also be activated.

This map, which you can also find by scrolling down the app page, will show you the locations of the weather warnings accompanied by a colour chart which indicates severity of conditions. The darker the colour, the worse the expected conditions.

Within the map you are also able to toggle between different weather conditions including thunderstorms, storms, heavy rain and ice, as well as being able to see the weather warnings in place for the coming days.

Not all weather events need a weather warning however, and there are different thresholds required to reach them, with these thresholds unique to Weather & Radar.
