      When I'm logged in to my windy account and using the "forecasted weather" map option, windy will always show the forecast for this airport (KBED) in addition to the standard cities. When I'm logged out this is not the case.

      This is an airport I frequent regularly and I'm sure it's something I did. Does anyone know how I did this? See image attached where the forecast wind for KBED airport is shown when I'm logged in, and not shown when I'm logged out.

        When Wind layer and Forecasted weather are selected, the predicted wind is displayed under city names and under favorite locations.
        Is this airport in your list of Favorites ?

          @idefix37 It was not but your comment led me to find a "saved route" which started at the KBED airport. Apparently this start location is treated as a favorite! I understand now thank you :)

            When you’re logged in the app remembers those personal settings, which is why it shows automatically. Logged out, it defaults to standard cities since it can’t access your saved preferences.

              That explanation makes sense. Remembering preferences when logged in is expected behavior, but it’s good to know why it falls back to default cities when logged out, thanks for clarifying.

                It seems you have added KBED to your "Favorites" or "Saved Locations" list in your Windy account.
