An anemometer really isn't going to help you much if you're out riding, and suddenly the wind picks up. You'll know when that happens without the instrument. Power meters measure watts you are pushing through the crankset, not wind, although your watts will be higher into a headwind vs. flats for the same road speed.
I'm not aware of any bike computers that are compatible with an anemometer. BTW, where do you live where's it so windy it ruins half your biking days?
it's usually not too bad at my apartment but then anywhere from 1/4 mile to 8 miles away it can kick in hard. The forecasts are all I have, and they're valid for wind direction only.
I'm 1.1 miles south and about 5 or 6 miles west of the NE corner of Colorado.
