Hey Bekaru,
Thanks for passing that along, it was interesting reading. The paper's conclusions are possibly applicable to the Mavic's low-power Wifi mode of flying, but not so much with the most common RC mode which employs nearly 7 to 8.5 times more radio transmission power than standard wifi modules. The paper also concludes that while temperature has an affect upon low-power wifi range, humidity only may have an affect at freezing temps and below.
So while technically hot weather or high-humidity freezing temps may decrease range, I still feel it's unlikely to decrease range to the extent that most pilots would notice, as most pilots don't fly at the extreme ends of their range to begin with.
When you have downlink video problems due to RF range or blockage, you see choppy, stuttering and/or frozen video. Without seeing an example video of the image issues you are experiencing, it's impossible to help diagnose your problem.
