How to set up your start-up location
-
You might want to start on a specific location each time you use Windy. But remember that this setting works only if you are logged in.
There are several parameters you may choose from
- Start-up location determined by IP
- Using GPS
- Choosing from locations saved as your favorites
On desktop
Just click on the (hamburger) "Menu", choose "Settings" and look for "Start-up location" accompanied by a "house" icon. Then choose your preferred method from the drop-down list.

Could anyone explain what is vorticity advection and why it’s important?
I have a paper due on this topic and the internet is of little help. I don’t understand what positive and negative in the terms PVA and NVA imply and I’m having trouble generally understanding and visualizing the whole idea. Any help would be greatly apprecaited. :) -

Some of my preferences do not appear to be saved in the cloud. I was able to create a Favorite location and save it. But, when I change the Start-Up setting to use the favorite location instead of IP address it only works until I close the tab. After closing the tab it reverts back to IP address the next time I visit the site, even though I did not log out. The Favorite location is still there but the Start-up location is based on IP.
I normally access the Internet through a paid VPN service and it is frustrating to have start up data from many miles away displayed.
I am using Firefox 68.0.2 on Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.6).
Thanks,

Thank you for this. My app used to open to my chosen city but just recently started opening to a city 3 states away from my home location. I would rather use GPS locator so if I'm traveling, it will always open where I am currently located. Had to change it to my city so it would stop opening 3 states away.

Hello @chadmccullough, is it possible, that you have restricted the application to use your location on your device?

@Simona-Polackova It would be nice if this actually worked.
On an imac, followed your instructions, already added my home town to favorites, so picked that from the available choices and nothing changes. Refreshed the page, STILL nothing changed. Now it's picking a town not all that far from me but still, NOT MY HOME. Guess this thing is just gimpy and I'll have to live with it this way.

@Artmaker Could you please provide a screenshot of your settings, so we can better understand the issue?
