Is there a way to make the windy block default to display clouds?
Doing astrophotography, I care more about potential cloud cover.

HI Bob,
I was given the following script change the default presentation in windy:
<iframe src="
https://embed.windy.com/embed2.html?lat=<?php echo $stationLat?>&lon=<?php echo $stationLon?>&zoom=7&level=surface&overlay=radar&menu=&message=true&marker=&forecast=12&calendar=now&location=coordinates&type=map&actualGrid=&metricWind=kt&metricTemp=%C2%B0<?php echo $displayTempUnits?>" style="border:none;width:98%;height:400px;margin:0 auto"></iframe>
Change "surface&overlay" to "clouds&menu" .
Replace line 28 in your "windyBlock.php file in blocks folder. Do not use a txt editor. I use "Notepad++"
Hope this helps.
Paul

Opps.....
Spoke too soon, that changes it to lightning.
I'll have a closer look at the PHP.

surface&overlay=clouds&menu=&message=true&marker=&forecast=12&calendar=now&location=coordinates&type=map&actualGrid=&metricWind=kt&metricTemp=%C2%B0<?php echo $displayTempUnits?>" style="border:none;width:98%;height:400px;margin:0 auto"></iframe>
Had to change RADAR to clouds
Works fine now.
