unless it's crank based I think your power meter has to have a wind reading. Maybe not user accessible.
Kinda like your power training, my plan was to get a wind reading and then when I'm biking just think of the wind as invisible hills and valleys, and when it gets ****** just tell myself I'm climbing higher than the Rockies (only like 14.5k'). Either shorten the ride or just know I did a lot more effort.
power meters measure the force applied at the pedal, crank arm, or crank spindle. that combined with the rotational speed of the crank is power. they do not measure anything else at all - not even speed. certainly not direction or wind!
