What happened to the forecast links on the left of the footer?
-
Until today I always had forecast links on the left end of the footer. Today I only have observation and observations compared to forecast links.
My purpose for having a weather app is to have the forecast for several days in advance as well as the current and recent data.
How do I get the display back to the way I want it?
Thank you for your time and assistance with this.

@gaelwolf Hi, can you please tell us more details of what exactly what you mean?

The screenshot shows what I have now. It is not what I want to see. I used to see a graphical version of the forecast with weather icons. The predictions is what I want to see. The comparison of what was forecast versus what actually happed is all about the past. I need to understand what is in the future.
I like the way it worked. Even though I am on the west coast of North America and you are in Europe it was good. This? Not so much.
When I looked a few minutes ago, there was someon else who appears to have a similar issue happening.

This is what is missing when I am using Windy now. (It was hard to describe in words . . . I don't know what this forecast display is called.

@gaelwolf So you want to see this?
If you do, you need to open the forecast for certain location. Your screenshot is from the station, where only observed conditions are.

Okay . . . I shifted the location data to a known point just a few hundred meters away from the airport and now I am getting the forecast displayed again.
It's curious, though, because I have been loading the airport location for more than a year and getting the forecast instead of the observations. Why would that change without my doing anything different?
-
. . . At any rate, I'm happier now.
Thanks!

I am also a bit bothered by this change and would appreciate the return of the "Forecast for this location" button when clicking on a site with observed weather. I operate a weather station that is displayed on Windy and my habit has always been to click on my own weather station, and then select the "Forecast for this location" option to quickly get to my own local forecast. Now I have to click "near" my weather station if I want the forecast, which is a friction, and I can no longer see recent observed conditions plus the local forecast in a single click-through. I click the weather station for observations, then I need to back out of it and click somewhere else near to it for the forecast. Also, to click "near" the weather station, and not kms away, one has to zoom way in first or it will just bring up the station with no forecast option.
I would note, this seems to be bringing the mobile version behaviour to the web client. This behaviour always frustrated me on the mobile client too, but I mostly just ignored it and used the web client 95% of the time instead. I'd like to see forecast included as an option for a clicked observation site in mobile too really. I would use it more then.
