Setting wind direction with the movable polar arrow is quite awkward. I’d like to be able to set wind direction numerically, for the whole session. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! The weather editor has a compass that should make setting wind direction more precise — you can press and hold to fine-tune the angle without conflicting scroll gestures.

If the wind was steady throughout your session, you can also delete the intermediate weather points (just scroll right in the table) and keep only the start and end points.

That said, I’ll keep your suggestion in mind for future improvements to the editor.
