I just installed the Android app, and my very first impression is I can't find the instructions.

OK. (But perhaps do like the Flightradar24 app, remembering the previous zoom through thick and thin (all manner of restarts, powerdowns, etc.)

On Twitter, "?" brings up a list of keyboard shortcuts. Saves a lot of bytes,

• Visit https://www.windy.com/-Rain-thunder-rain?rain,23.790,120.624,8
• Hit keyboard→→→→... to advance time three hours at a time.

You will observe that for major storm blobs one can follow the logic of how they travel.

But for anything less, it is: how did cloud A jump to point B? Etc.

Therefore we see that three hour jumps are just too wide.

One hour jumps are needed to keep the cloud movement logic recognizable. P.S., no I am not "overly zoomed in for my own good."

The site does a super job with the little wind arrows. Now time to fix up jerky weather blob (cloud) movement.

In fact I now notice the original "pizza pie" in the image indeed has eight slices, apparently trying to express the same thing
(that a slice pointing north is called "S"(outh), etc.)

@idefix37 It turns out the "suspend alert for some time" button is only available if one clicks on the link sent to one's mailbox. Otherwise for me it the pencil is just a "rename" link, like the last pencil in your image, the one that you didn't put a red arrow next to.

Ah! I get it. That's what happens when there is only one webcam in my vicinity.

@Gkikas-LGPZ I see. Hmmm, it seems that their predictions are vastly different too. So I suppose you fellows made the best choice for default. OK.

In the app go to settings. Now look at temperature rain snow excetera. Some of them have the metric units on the right, and some of them on the left. They all should be on the same side. The English units should be on the other side.

@Korina Fine.
Anyway, in all cases the little animated wind arrows are easier to see on a non-distracting background.
That is why it is the only choice at lower zoom levels.
That principle still holds at higher zoom levels. Alas "the rug has been pulled out from underneath us" at higher zoom levels. Therefore please consider offering the non-distracting background as one of the choices for high zoom levels. Thanks.

@Korina Yes. I am saying let's not decide for the user what level is enough, but instead give them the freedom to chose the same/whatever layer all the way to the end.
In particular the freedom to get the previous behaviour that was seen before the latest site update.

(In fact I don't think "in the history of cartography" there has been any other site where map styles suddenly jarringly change as one zooms.) (Indeed it couldn't be due to saving costs, as fewer map layers mean less costs than more.)

In the past we could keep the same background map even "in very detailed zoom levels".
Now we are forced to change to one of two alternatives, that make it very hard to see the little wind arrows.

If it were easy to see the little wind arrows, then these two choices should be allowed at any zoom level.
In the picture you can see at the right I left a slice of the original background map that I wish would be still available as a choice at any zoom level, just like the site used to work.

(For the left circle choice the arrows are still best visible over the ocean. For the right circle choice, over the ocean one cannot see any arrows.)

Ah! I get it. That's what happens when there is only one webcam in my vicinity.

I hit some button in the app, and now Windy is showing me a webcam. That is great. However that webcam is rather far from me. How can I choose to have Windy show me a nearer webcam? No, I don't have any friends who own webcams.

I notice that Windy hasn't started using the tons of data offered in
https://opendata.cwb.gov.tw/dataset/observation yet. Just wanted to
let you know.

Perhaps have it instead use an arrow, just like I drew.

This border is barely visible:

We need to see it in order to know what the current time of the frame is.

@Yves70 That's too bad. Each time I start up I have to zoom in thousands of miles. I guess whoever set the defaults lives in a larger country or uses some regional approach to looking at weather. Alas, there is no "one size fits all."

@jidanni I want it to go to that same zoom level every time I start the app.
