If you're talking about the web app - it's very easy. Navigate to area of your interest and zoom in to how you want it to be. The coords and zoom level are embedded in the (live) URL. Copy the URL from the address bar and make it your Windy link. (I have it like that myself).

Please decouple Dew Point from Temperature
I’m talking about the custom color scale.
I can’t see “Dew Point” in the Customize Color Scale > Select Overlay. Or am I doing something wrong?I look at “Dew Point” to get a feel of the Humidity, and, like most people, I am not interested in the actual temperature of the object that's collecting the condensation. The (custom) color scale which I have for Temperature is completely useless when applied to Dew Point. In fact, it’s worse than useless – it’s misleading. IMSO there needs to be a dedicated custom color scale for Dew Point which is completely independent from the Temperature’s scale. I had in mind something like this:
Dew Point of:
0°C – White
10°C – Light Blue
20°C - Dark Blue
30°C – Purple
40°C – Deep PurpleA color scale like that makes sense to me. (Any) custom color scale for the Temperature’s (which is useful) cannot also be a good fit for the Dew Point.

RE: Your app is awesome, except...
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.

RE: Bug/Oversight in Dew Point color scale (in app)
The legend is correct for some customized layers but not for others? It may be a bug.

RE: Bug/Oversight in Dew Point color scale (in app)
Actually, this issue persists in other layers too. Some are OK.
A (very) partial list:
The scale at the very bottom of the screen (the "legend") is CORRECT:
Visibility
Humidity
Wet Bulb
...The scale at the bottom is wrong, a complete mismatch:
Temperature
Wind
Wind gusts
Dew Point
...*The (custom) colors on the map itself are displayed correctly.
It's the same problem in the Web and Android app.
I've attached a few screenshots from the web app. The color scale in question is in the bottom right corner. (In the filenames it says if it's correct or wrong).
*My phone can't take screenshots. Android 11. Sorry.

RE: Bug/Oversight in Dew Point color scale (in app)
Update/correction:
I can see now that the scale (the legend) is broken in the web app as well. I'm pretty sure (not 100%) that at least at one point it was displaying correctly the (custom) colors for Dew Point.

Bug/Oversight in Dew Point color scale (in app)
So, recently, the Dew Point has been decoupled from Temperature. It now has its own customizable color scale. (Thank you, whoever did that).
In the web app everything is awesome, however, in the Android app, the color scale at the very bottom (the "legend") still draws its colors from Temperature. An easy fix, I'm sure.

RE: Your app is awesome, except...
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.

RE: Customizable scale for Dew Point?
@idefix37 I guess that makes sense.
Ok, thanks! -
RE: Customizable scale for Dew Point?
@idefix37 In the drop-down menu Relative Humidity is there, Dew Point isn't.
