So I pay for premium and this is the most non-intuitive interface I have encountered in the modern era.<br />
Is there a basic ground up user guide?<br />
The FAQs are initimidating full of glider pilots wanting to plan adiabatic thermals in Alaska in 3 days time.</p>
<p dir="auto">I would just like to know stupid things like:<br />
How to get the timeline with windspeeds for a location across the bottom of the screen (like I got in my not paid for view)<br />
How to get a forecast longer than 3 days<br />
What the options are for managing the screen display.<br />
It's not even obvious how to ask dumb questions like this!</p>

<p dir="auto">I find you really hard on Windy, especially if you've been using it for so many years!<br />
The FAQ presents simple questions even if sometimes they give rise to discussions. Just ignore these discussion threads.<br />
To answer your very basic questions, click a location on the map then on the amber arrow to get the different meteograms at this location.<br />
Then to see the 10-day forecast swipe the meteogram panel to the left.</p>

<p dir="auto">And may be your question about the screen display management can find some light with this good summary from a Windy user <a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/mhaberler" aria-label="Profile: mhaberler">@<bdi>mhaberler</bdi></a></p>
