We may not be able to redirect that punishing headwind or conjure up a powerful tailwind for your next ride, but we can improve wind forecasts! The latest release of Epic Ride Weather has been fine-tuned to make wind strength and direction easier to take in at a glance.

Epic Ride Weather wind forecasts now depict predicted wind speeds with varying arrow sizes. Larger arrows correspond to stronger winds, and smaller arrows correspond to lighter winds:

Epic Ride Weather app showing wind direction and wind speed
Epic Ride Weather app showing only wind direction
Higher wind speeds are shown with larger arrows

The left screenshot above shows arrows corresponding to wind speed and direction. The right screenshot shows the exact same forecast with the previous version of Epic Ride Weather, with arrows only showing wind direction.

This latest installment of the Epic Ride Weather app comes to you courtesy of suggestions and excellent feedback from Gary and Juan Jose. Thank you both!
