Tabs & panels

Your site is organised into tabs along the top, each showing a kind of reading in detail. The Overview tab is always there and shows a hero summary plus a grid of metric tiles; the other tabs appear based on your sensors and the features you turn on.

Available tabs

Depending on your station's sensors and settings, your site can include:

• Overview: headline conditions and your chosen metric tiles.
• Forecast: the next 24 hours and 7 days for your station's location.
• Map: an optional interactive Windy map centred on your station.
• Webcam: a live still image from your camera, refreshed every few minutes - set it up under Appearance → Webcam.
• Temperature: current temperature with history (always shown when your station reports temperature).
• Humidity: humidity and dew point.
• Wind: speed, gusts, direction, and an optional compass and wind rose.
• Pressure: barometric pressure and trend.
• Rain: totals and rain rate.
• Sun: solar radiation, UV index and today's sunshine hours.
• Astronomy: sunrise, sunset, twilight, day length and, optionally, the moon - its phase, rise, set, transit and the next new/full moon.
• Air quality: AQI and particulate readings, if you have an AirLink sensor.
• Almanac: all-time records and monthly climate summaries.
• Reports: NOAA-style monthly and annual climatological summaries, with a plain-text download.
• Agriculture: growing degree days, chill hours, vapour pressure deficit, and any soil or leaf sensors you have.
• Sensors: accessory channels only push hardware reports - extra rooms, lightning and water-leak detectors.
• Diary: your own snow depth and observations. Appears once you have written an entry.
• About: your station's story, photo and links. Appears once you have filled in anything on the dashboard's About page.

A tab only shows when your station reports that data and you've enabled it. So your site stays focused on the readings you actually collect.

Choosing what appears

Open your site in the dashboard and go to Settings:

• Cards to show: pick which metric tiles appear - Humidity, Wind, Wind gust, Pressure, Rain today, Dew point, Solar, UV index and Air quality. The temperature hero is always shown, and leaving everything unticked shows all available tiles.
• Weather features: turn whole tabs and extras on or off:
  • Sun & Moon (astronomy), Forecast and Severe-weather warnings need your station's location (taken from WeatherLink).
  • Almanac, Climate reports and the wind rose are part of the Pro feature set, and you can choose an 8-point or 16-point wind rose.
  • Smaller toggles include the wind-direction compass and moon phase & times.
• Stations to display: if your account has more than one station, choose which to show.
• Air Quality Index standard: with an AirLink, pick the scale your visitors know from eight regional standards, including the European EAQI, the US EPA index, the UK DAQI and Canada's AQHI.
• Agronomy settings: with the Agriculture card on, set the growing degree day base, chill band and sunshine threshold.

Arranging tabs and tiles

Reordering lives on the Appearance page, under Layout:

• Template: tabs, or one scrolling page.
• Tab order (Section order on the one-page template): put the sections into the order you want.
• Default tab: choose which tab visitors land on first (tabs only).
• Overview tiles: reorder the metric tiles in the Overview grid.

Save and your live site updates immediately.

Starting over

At the bottom of the Panels page, Reset panels switches every overview card and section back on and puts the forecast, warnings, wind rose, moon, weather map, chart builder, station-health panel and public API back to their defaults.

Your webcam address is kept, and so is your choice of station and everything on the other tabs. There's a confirmation step and no undo. The Appearance page has its own reset for how the site looks.
