Frequently asked
Learn more about how Route Weather works
How is route weather calculated?
We pull weather data from multiple meteorological sources (including Open-Meteo, NOAA, and others) and interpolate it to every point along your route based on coordinates and elevation. Rather than showing weather for your city, we show the actual conditions you'll encounter at each kilometer—considering elevation changes, local terrain effects, and precise timing for your ride duration.
Can I upload a GPX file?
Yes, absolutely. You can either paste a Strava or RideWithGPS route URL directly, or upload a GPX file from your device. Both methods work identically—we extract the route coordinates and elevation data, then analyze weather for the exact path you'll take. This works with files from any GPS device or cycling app.
Does wind direction matter for cyclists?
Absolutely. Wind direction relative to your route is critical. A headwind at 25 km/h is exhausting, while a 25 km/h tailwind helps you fly. We show wind speed and direction so you can see when you'll face headwinds on climbs or have tailwind assistance on descents. We also note when wind is crosswind on exposed terrain, which affects stability and control.
How accurate is route-based weather?
Weather forecasts are typically accurate 3-5 days out for general conditions, with less precision beyond that. Our route-based analysis is as accurate as the underlying forecast data, but gains precision from hyperlocal interpolation—you get mountain pass weather instead of valley weather, and altitude-adjusted temperatures. For rides further in advance, treat forecasts as trend indicators. For rides this week, expect reliable data on wind, temperature, and precipitation.
