Hi Guys,

Before your drone take off, what software/apps you use to check the weather condition &  forecast, wind profile and map? I use free apps UAV Forecast which is available at Google Play or Apps Store. Any comments?

Its also handy for checking on places you want to visit also. You can kind of plan out your flying location before you arrive.

Hi.
Wow that's a good tip checking flying location which is located a bit far from current location. Thanks HurleyBird Production.

Like you I use UAV Forecast in the field or Airdate.com before setting off as it does a nice view of wind at different altitudes.

Buienalarm is good. However in my opinion UAV Forecast is built for those people who want to check the weather situation prior of take off their drone. Good to fly or no good to fly will be shown in the apps. Wind speed information also included at specific height. Take a look and might be useful for you.

I'm more of a 'last minute' person and don't really care about the wind too much.
Mavic can handle most wind and if it is too windy I don't leave home in the first place.
But that is just me of course.
