Never come home wet from the rain again. With WheelerWeather you can easily plan the best moment to cycle between the rain showers. In addition, you can also receive a notification as soon as the weather is good for cycling in the coming days according to your own preferences. WEATHER FORECAST By linking your Strava account to the app, you can display the weather along your routes. This, combined with your average speed, allows the app to display the 15-minute weather along your route. Very handy since the weather changes per location and time. Of course you can also look up the weather for a single location by searching on the name of a city or village. In the future it will also be possible to link to other sports apps/websites, such as Garmin and Wahoo. WEATHER NOTIFICATION Never find out too late that it’s good cycling weather. You can receive a notification for when the weather in the next few days is good enough to go cycling. And what is good cycling weather? That is entirely up to you. Set your preferences such as temperature, wind and whether or not to allow rain and receive the WheelerWeather alarm at a time of your choice.
