Cheers,  just checked UAV forecast and its flagging it all day Saturday for me.

Thanks for the warning!

Thanks for the heads up.

Just like every other time this sky-is-falling stuff is reported, it will have no effect on drone flying.
You can safely ignore it.

Sounds like a good time to get a dark tan fast ;-)

You’ll be most likely right, but hey it’s your drone.

I've flown in high K-index conditions many times and thousands of others have too, but there hasn't been a single drone flying incident that can be attributed to flying in high K-index conditions.
Not one.
But journalists, forums and UAV forecast still scare people unnecessarily each time it comes around.
The facts are that if there was any effect on your GPS, it isn't likely to be anything you'd even notice.

It's not helpful at all.
It's pure nonsense.
