      I love Windy but being in Australia I prefer to use Access forecast model over others as it is more accurate for Australia.
      Each time I open Windy the forecast model defaults to ECMWF...

      Is there a way to set the default model?

        @u7xtv727 This would be a great option! I prefer looking at the short range models so I have to change it every time.

          In Settings > Start-up layer > Use last overlay
          It works if you exit the app with your preferred model on screen and you don't use widgets to open it.

            Setting the startup layer and location doesn't work for me.
            (Firefox Browser 122.0(64bit) Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu)
            Can you advise where these defaults are recorded?
            Is it set in a cookie or saved to and read from the server?

              this workaround does not work if, for example, you have switched to the radar and then exit the app. The next time you start it, ECMWF is the default again. A setting for the default model would be really helpful!

                This is normal behavior with radar and satellite. If you previously selected another weather model, it reverts to ECMWF. So when exiting the app, you should for example leave with the wind layer and your preferred model on the screen.
                I admit that this setting is just an imperfect workaround.
