Smarter watering reminders and working overnight storm alerts
🌬️ Wind or Storm Alert
- Fixed overnight coverage. After midnight the forecast window was quietly dropping from 10 hours back to 3, so overnight storms now reach you the evening before.
- Storm alerts now trigger on moderate-to-heavy rain showers. The old trigger used a weather code our forecast provider never sends.
💧 Plant & Lawn Watering Alert
- Drizzle no longer counts as watering your lawn. Skipping a reminder now takes at least one hour of genuinely moderate rain.
- Rain is now checked 17 hours ahead instead of 12, so afternoon and evening rain cancels the morning reminder.
- Retuned what counts as a rainy day: hours qualify at a 60% chance of rain instead of 66%, but four are needed instead of three.
📋 Across the site
- Alert descriptions on the home page and your dashboard now match how each alert actually behaves.
- Added this changelog. Every alert email now links to it.
