Here's what I've learned. Please feel free to correct me.
The wind will gust and change velocity, no matter where you're at. So , read the flag and adjust your hold over according to velocity. Send it downrange at matching wind conditions.
The wind will change direction, no matter where you're at. Read the flag. Do you have full value or half value?
The wind will swirl. Meaning that it may be from a different direction from your shooting position than that of your target. However, that is a component of the lay of the land. Read the wind where your bullet has slowed down and is most affected by strong wind conditions where the bullet has slowed down.
I have found through practice that a head on wind in your face (zero value) will actually drive your bullet slightly upward.
