When I load the following URL the map immediately zooms out to the (default?) level 7 even though the URL specifies level 13:
https://www.windy.com/34.490/-119.820?namConus,temp,34.480,-119.820,13,m:eCEacPt
It first loads at the correct zoome level but switches to level 7 before it's done loading.
This is really annoying because it also means that when I switch between forecast models the map zooms out again, making it really tedious to compare the models.
I am using chrome on Linux.
Thanks for looking into this!

I second this. The frequent zoom-outs for a variety of actions are really really annoying!

@marienka It baffles me that you would think of this as a feature not a bug. I specifically enter a zoom level in the URL and the first thing the site does is wipe out what I entered and switch zoom level. To add insult to injury, when I have the detailed forecast open in the bottom it centers the coordinates in the URL in what is visible of the map but then the + zoom button zooms in on the center of the window, which is lower, so after three clicks on the + button the point I specified wanders off-screen at the top. It's most user UNfriendly!

The compare feature is nice, but it doesn't change the vector field shown on the map (which is understandable)...

The frequent zooming out is by far the most annoying feature of Windy. Is there any way to get a setting to turn this off?

@BarboraSamkova What's the point of an app that is really fast at displaying something the user doesn't care about???

@idefix37 I understand that when I use different models the outcome isn't necessarily the same, but in my example I specifically used ECMWF for both.

I can answer my second question, duh, there's a link to add a webcam at the bottom.

My personal weather station shows up in Windy and there's a quality info next to it. I'm glad it says "very high" but I know that the humidity (hence dew point) measurement is busted. I'm wondering where the quality info comes from. I'm referring to the following text:

Weather station: madis, id: AT923, average reporting time: 10 minutes, quality of observation: very high

Also, the pane for the weather station shows:

There are no webcams around this location (or we don't know about them)

and I'm wondering where any webcam info could come from, 'cause I might add a cam...

If you are in the USA and you register your weather station with CWOP then it will get into MADIS and show up in Windy... At least my PWS shows up :-)
