Iframe scaling on WordPress page

    Hello. I have a few HTML files that are uploaded to my domain via FTP. They contain weather data, so they always change.

    My main weather HTML file “/tower/wx.html” contains an iframe to display an HTML file “/tower/wx3.html” showing the current weather conditions. When I load wx.html directly (via the domain, not a WP page), it displays wx3.html perfectly – on desktops and on mobiles.

    However, when I insert that same exact iframe code into a block on a WordPress page to display /tower/wx3.html, the sides keep cutting off — or scrolling. It works fine on a desktop. The problem is on mobile devices being held horizontally. For some reason, WordPress is not auto-sizing the iframe. I tried 

    , but that makes it worse.  

Again, the iframes are auto-sized perfectly  when going directly to the /tower/wx.html page.  The problem occurs when I try programming it into a WordPress page.

I cannot redirect users to the HTML because I need this embedded on my homepage and a few other sections that show other content.  

Any ideas?  Thank you in advance.
