Hazardous Weather Alert!
These days it seems like every time I open up the Pokemon Go app, it starts off with giving me a "Hazardous Weather Alert!" and makes me confirm that I'm safe. This happens in any and every weather, be it clear weather on a bright sunny day that couldn't be any closer to perfect weather, or it could be wind/rain/whatever.
Does this happen to anyone else?
The only reason I could think of for this is that I live in California and we have been having a ton of fires recently... but those fire's really aren't anywhere close to me.
Does this happen to anyone else? Are you in California? Or am I the only one who experiences this?

It seems to trigger whenever the weather app pokemon uses has any weather alert for your area.
So if there's a high UV index for the day - alert. Low air quality? Alert. etc...
I live in Ontario Canada, and same deal. Can go a while without an alert, but when I get them they come on every time I log in for weeks.
When these advisories pop up on pokemon go, they are always triggered by a preexisting warning from the national weather service. In California, maybe yours are triggered by the wildfires. Where I live, the frequent weather warnings that pop up on sunny days are often for the threat of "wind gusts over 45 mph". If you go to a weather website, you'll see what prompted the pokemon alert
