Is there any way to get this fixed? It's so annoying.

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?

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)...

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!

@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 :-)

I gave it another try. Step 1: display the wind, note ECMWF model:

Then I switched to waves (ECMWF WAM) and placed a detail spot marker:

Then I switched back to wind and the animation (which is the same as in step 1) does not match the wind direction of the spot marker:

Is this Windy showing inconsistent data or is this due to the data sets not being self-consistent?
