I understand the desire to have the browser UI look similar to the mobile interface, but in my opinion it doesn't work. As others point out there isn't consistency in where and how the icons are arranged on the desk top. Icon identity is problematic at best. Unless I hover on the icon I don't have an idea as to what it represents. Further the icon size, use up a lot of real estate.

@Suty The implementation of the new interface isn't very functional. The icons are not easily clustered into groups on the screen; ie wind, on top, then precipitation, next humidity. They install randomly and don't provide any indication of what data set they reference until you hover over it. So it basically becomes a exercise in "hunt and peck. In my case, the icons display in a minimum of two rows which uses more screen real estate then I'd like to lose. IMO, this new UI has degraded the quality of the Windy project.
Simply, on the mobile platform this works. On the the desktop it doesn't, it's just annoying. So much so I'll probably cancel my premium subscription and go back to another weather app.

@idefix37 On the mobile app it works. How it's used in on the desktop doesn't. Instead of just "getting use it it", the bad user experience, I for one will probably discontinue my subscription.

Okay so, I still think the new data set icons are less effective then the older UI, but, I seem to have found a "glitch" or "fix" as the case may be.
In earlier posts I mentioned the icons didn't display any text noting context and that they, the icons were large-ish and in my case formed multiple rows which needlessly took up screen space.
By "empty map" the icons returned to a smaller size, display text and form a single row on the right side of the screen. Pretty much like the older UI.
So for those finiding oversized icon to be chaotic and annoying go to the Display on map menu and "empty map".

Anyone having issues with Windy (ver. 40.000419) getting "stuck" in portrait on iOS 17.0.3. on an iPhone 14? As of Nov. 11th, 23 the iOS app won't rotate from portrait to landscape.

@Ruboo48 Are you referring to "Animation of wind" setting? I've found changing the settings to something other than "normal" seems to hide the moving arrows.
If you're thinking of the "directional arrows or flags" that would show what I thought were wind vectors/ forecast model/site, I'm not sure where those disappeared too.
