The 9 pm question

Every tour chat asks it. Nobody has a good answer.

Weather apps forecast one place at one time. A tour covers 200 km a day, through different weather, at different hours. The wind at the start tells you nothing about the climb at 11.

  • Wind against the road, not the town. We compare the wind to the direction of every stretch, so you see headwind and tailwind, not just “25 km/h WNW”.
  • Timed to where the group will be. Pace, climbs and stops are built in, so each forecast matches the hour you get there.
  • One link for everyone. Riders, support crew and family all see the same forecast.

How it works

Set it up once. It stays live for the whole tour.

Load the stages the week before. From then on, every time someone taps a day, it re-forecasts from the newest model run.

Inside a stage

Every kilometre, in plain words.

Tap a day and the whole stage opens on the map. These are real screens from Day 10, the toughest-looking day of the tour so far.

THE MAP

See where it bites

Each arrow is the wind where the group will be at that hour. Red is in your face, amber is from the side, green is at your back.

HOUR BY HOUR

Watch it build

Tap gusts, temperature or rain for a chart through the day. Gusts climbing to 81 km/h after 10:00? Plan the regroup before then.

KILOMETRE BREAKDOWN

No jargon

“Headwind 26, gusts 58, at 06:18.” Every few kilometres, the wind and what it means for the bunch.

Accuracy

The same models forecasters use. Checked against each other.

World-class models

ECMWF’s high-resolution model, widely rated the most accurate global forecast, with the American GFS as a second opinion.

Timed to the minute

Wind is blended between hourly readings to the moment the group reaches each stretch, not rounded to the hour.

Honest when unsure

When the models disagree, we say so, in red, so nobody plans a day on a coin toss.

Models disagree. Check later

Never stale

Nothing is saved from yesterday. Every time a page opens, it pulls the newest forecast, up to 16 days ahead.

For organisers

Made for the people who carry the tour.

You plan the start times, the regroups and the support vehicles. Windline gives you the wind for every one of those decisions, and gives your riders one place to look.
