I think all UAV pilots with drones that have GPS lock should pay a bit more attention on this.
@dronist - I've just downloaded UAV Forecast, very good to have.
FYI for those who are new, from wonderful Wiki: The K-index quantifies disturbances in the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field with an integer in the range 0–9 with 1 being calm and 5 or more indicating a geomagnetic storm. It is derived from the maximum fluctuations of horizontal components observed on a magnetometer during a three-hour interval.
Or in Aussie Droners language… ‘When the K Index is high it Phucks big time with your drones GPS lock’ , so if you’re not confident in your manual flying skills leave it on the ground until the K drops.
And this is NOT "Thermal Wind"!
