Historical weather on activities in progress

This is almost done … Busy with a MyWindsock style addition to the Strava description:

– Intervals icu –
Wind: SE 17 - 26 km/h Gusts 45 - 55
Headwind: 31% 41m19s
Tailwind: 23% 30m31s
Temp: 14.8 to 18.1 °C avg 16.4
Feels like: 10.6 to 15.7 °C avg 12.9
Clouds: 23%

That will also show rain and snow if there is any.

Then I just need to writeup a guide post and finally announce this.

I have tweaked the apparent wind rose to more clearly indicate what is considered headwind or tailwind. Also added screenshot button.

Still testing “Add to Strava” with my own data before that gets enabled.

You can now control the number of weather points displayed on the map. Just drag the slider. There is also a screenshot button and start and end markers.

This just got done. Toggle on/off and control spacing from options drop down.

Thank you. This looks great.

I introduced a new interval field called “Estimated cdA” and gave it an initial test run for some of my rides. At first glance, it seems to produce reasonable values for steady efforts. Feel free to give it a try and see how it works for you.

This is fantastic! Thank you very much for spending time developing this. I have tested it by comparing 3 road bike 40km TTs (on the same course) over the last 2 years where I had similar power but increased speed in each of them (based on some bike fit changes I made) and this is reflected in the CdA calc. Excellent!

Regardless of how ‘accurate’ the algorithm is, it creates a baseline to judge against so its well worth using for me I think. Thank you again!
