THE RIDE FORECAST
See the wind you'll actually meet.
Bring a route in, choose when you leave and how fast you ride — and Velvind shows the wind, rain, temperature and daylight at each point of the ride, at the time you'll actually be there. Not the weather at home — the weather at km 60, at the hour you get there.
Free while it finds its feet. When paid plans come, the core forecast stays free and existing riders hear first.
FORECASTS BY OPEN-METEO · ROUTES FROM STRAVA, GPX OR A LINK
Move the departure — arrival, wind and rain update instantly.
Arrival time, temperature, wind and rain update the moment you change it — no reload, no waiting. This example is frozen; your rides use the live forecast.
Dry — but a headwind waits on the way home.
TAILWIND OUT · HEADWIND HOME — AT THE HOUR YOU'LL BE THERE
How it works
01
Bring a route
Strava sync, GPX upload, draw on the map, or a shared link.
02
Say when — and how fast
Pick a departure and a pace; the timing adjusts for every climb.
03
Read the ride
One verdict sentence, then wind, rain, temperature and light — point by point, hour by hour.
The forecast, read along your route.
Wind, resolved against you
Every forecast is compared to your direction of travel: tailwind, cross or head — and how much of the ride you'll spend fighting it.
Change the plan, instantly
Slide your departure or pace and the whole forecast updates instantly. No reloading, no re-fetching, no waiting.
The best time to leave
Velvind scans the day and tells you when leaving earlier or later buys you less headwind and less rain.
Rain as windows, not percentages
“A shower near km 60 from 12:40” beats “40% chance today”. You'll know where, when, and for how long.
Daylight and lights
Dawn, golden hour, dusk and dark along your route — and the exact time you'll need lights.
Plan it together
Turn any route into a group ride: one link, everyone reads the same forecast, and friends reply “in” — or “in if it stays dry”.
Bring any route
Sync from Strava, upload a GPX, draw on the map, or open a link a friend shared.
WHO MAKES THIS
Velvind is built and run by one person in Norway.
It exists because every ride here starts with the same question: which way is the wind?
The name joins the Norwegian words “vel” and “vind” — a good wind, the one at your back.
Free while it finds its feet. When paid plans come, the core forecast stays free and existing riders hear first.
