Your app is awesome, except...

Honestly...
When wanting to know what the weather is, or well be, for planning purposes... the most relevant data is the weather leading up to NOW!
Automatically having the app jump into a forecast, only forces the user to constantly reload the page, to see what the WEATHER PATTERN IS THAT LED TO CURRENT CONDITIONS!
SOME ARBITRARY FORECAST, NO MATTER HOW ACCURATE, TELLS US NOTHING ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT WITHOUT EXAMINING THE IMPACTFUL RECENT PAST!

I second that.
The most I can go back is 3 hours, which is almost silly.
Quite often I find myself in a situation where I'm outside, "experiencing the outdoors" in one way or another, without having the time/ability/luxury of pulling out my phone to see what that "experience" translates to in numbers.
Being able to go back 48, or at least 24 hours would save me a lot of useless guesswork. "Useless" because I can keep guessing till the cows come home; there's no way to know whether I'm being right or wrong. It's one thing not to be to able to tell future weather, not being able to tell PAST weather feels realy, really wrong, at least to me.Having a "historic weather" feature is pretty much a must. Even just 48 hours would be of huge help. A couple of months is a damp dream of mine.
A lot easier said than done, no doubt...PS: I'm serious about my weather. When I'm out on a job, I always have with me my old Brunton ADC Pro which can tell me (and record) current, local weather conditions, no internet connection required. I wish I could carry it with me everywhere, but I can't.

@cloudyd4yz Hello, unfortunately, we don't provide weather forecasts in archive. But you can access the archive of radar and satellite.
In addition to that, you can study values from weather stations that have a short-term history, plus weather forecasting model comparisons compared to the real values. See the screenshots below:
Is that something you were hoping for?
Have a nice day, Niki

I knew about this feature. There's a weather station very close to where I live, and I've refered to its "archive" a number of times in the past. The record goes back 10 days or so, however, the data is almost never useful to me. There's only Temperature, Wind and Pressure. Whereas I'm interested mostly in Humidity, Visibility, and, sometimes, Temperature (when I need to check past weather).
However, the main reason why this doesn't work for me is this: When I'm in the actual outdoors I am miles (or many miles) away from that or ANY station. Plus, my elevation is significantly higher. The data recorded at the station for that time frame isn't even worth looking at (as I need to know the weather for where I've been).
Well, for those occasions I almost always have with me my Brunton ADC Pro. Still, there are moments when my hands are simply too full and I can't take a proper reading with the instrument. Also, it doesn't measure Visibility.Thank you anyway.
