P.S. discovered a workaround: simply switching to a different tab, and then switching back to the Windy tab, makes the arrow keys work again.
However, if I close that Windy tab and then open Windy afresh, the right arrow key stops working again.
(Interestingly, the right arrow key does always work once [advance the time view by one interval], then it stops working.)
The above workaround seems to be successful 100% of the time, so I'm happy with that.
