I had a similar idea once upon a time, it'd take in your proposed route and what time you'd be at each point then look up the weather for each point and generate a "ride weather forecast" (since for 80-100 mile rides you can be out for 4-6 hours the weather in the UK can change on a dime) with appropriate clothing.
In the end it was just easier to look up the forecast for each area manually but it'd definitely be something I'd use if it existed.

While trying to find the exact name i found a forum post listing a couple alternatives (Accuweather, get-there-dry, Weather Channel, EDD) that are also 404 now. But the hunt did lead me to aviationweather.gov which has hour-interval forecast coverage for US airspace e.g. https://aviationweather.gov/gfa/#temps https://aviationweather.gov/gfa/#temps
