We have had rainy weather for a long time.  One evening I took the MM and went outside.  Used all 3 batteries

Great to get the drone in the air after a spell of bad weather.  Did you dodge the rain?

The rain was drizzling ... drops hit the camera ... I wanted to see the Christmas lights, but this year it probably won't be ... It's a shame

I think yes, the rain affected the range.  It is interesting to know how MM2 would have been led in this situation ...

I'm not going to try unless there is something special to capture
Made one flight in the rain with my MP.
Just because I really had to.
(last chance to capture a train on a specific location that has a lot of memories for me)
The MP did great, but the water drops made it on the footage.

I live about 30 miles outside London,  the whole south east was under the restriction and they asked people not to leave to avoid spreading the new strain of the virus but many ignored that,  in fact there are many ignoring all the rules.

There are different lock down restrictions in different areas of the UK,  they are using tiers to device the rules.

I agree, it's better not to fly on a rainy day ... Unless of course it's necessary

The new design of the rotor seems to be more exposed compared to the one from MP.

We recommend not to leave the capital region and, if possible, not to come to it ... But who stops it ...

I heard that he doesn't like sand dust and rain.

We now have police in the railway stations and at the border with Scotland.  And a real mess at the ports due to the lorries not being allowed into France yet.

The fog seems to be climbing, I just came down a steep hill and passed through it.

No hills around here to check
We are called 'Nederland' for a reason.

Nicely done ckat.  Appeared to be still drizzling a bit.  Interesting how some places appear to be getting too much rain and others are in a drought state.  Hopefully, your weather will clear soon so you can get in many more flights.  Season's greetings.

Raining cats and dogs.  Got a kick out of that comment.  That was my grandmother's favorite saying during rainy season.  Haven't heard it in a while so you got a chuckle out of me.  Thanks

Season's greetings and stay safe.
