Is there a way as of today to disable these warnings?  I do not need to have them repeated dozens of times during a flight.  I live on an island, I know there is wind.
I have the RC Pro controller and a Mavic 3 Pro.

Hi, mpoczynek. The strong wind warning will appear on the app when the airspeed reaches 12 m/s for flight safety and cannot be disabled. However, I will forward your feedback to the related department for evaluation. In the future, we will optimize and improve the products based on user comments. Thank you for your great support.

Thank you.  This has been an ongoing concern of drone operators for MANY years, checking the forums.  One warning is sufficient.  NOT dozens during a flight.  Thanks, and have a great day!

thanks for reminding me. I was shooting panoramas the other day - manually - 8 images across, 5 AEB at a time and then down a row and another 8 groups of 5.  Then some video. Every few seconds the controller would beep and tell me for the hundreth time there was a high wind warning and my drone could not get back to the home point. It was 295 feet directly above me!  On and on went the warnings. Super annoying. If I was getting it when I was 2miles away and really in trouble it might have been appreciated once...or twice. After that it's my problem. PLEASE DJI....let us turn this off. I don't need your nanny alert.

It's the same situation here.  I was shooting a pile of stills and the warnings would not stop.    It was like "YES I KNOW!  ITS WINDY!  I AM HERE I KNOW!" LOL!

My RC Plus controller shows the wind speed and direction when I'm flying my Matrice 30. Does your RC Pro controller show the same?

I would want the nanny warnings if I didn't otherwise have some way of knowing the load on the A/C.

But yeah - it can be annoying when I'm mapping an area for example and the drone is flying upwind and I get wind warnings, then downwind legs and it's happy. I can see the projected flight time go down on the upwind leg and up going with the wind.

Wind that goes into the red may mean that my drone can't make it back home if I have to fly into the wind, even if I'm only 500' away. I sure would want to know wind speeds before I got to that point and/or receive warnings - even if they are annoying.

Thanks for the reply.  I do not believe there is a wind speed indicator on the RC PRO.

I have to chime in and agree with this post.

This was my first experience flying my Mini 3 Pro when I got the wind warning. I thought, okay, great. Nice to let me know.  

Most of the flight, winds were below 5-6m/s but often, winds gusted to 26-29mph.

The first few warnings were nice. But after the 20th warning, it was stupid.

DJI needs to provide the ability to mute the warning and vibration notification for the duration of a flight. I agree not to disable, but mute for duration of flight would be feasible and acceptable.

Just like when we launch in a flight restriction zone, we tick the box and up we go. The same should apply for this wind warning.

I did not need to land and the flight posed no risk.

We understand the inconvenience. However, this feature is essential, as airspeed is different in the air and on the ground. The airspeed and direction may vary across times, altitudes, and directions. Affected by mountains and buildings, we can feel that the wind is light near the ground. With the increase in altitude and fewer obstacles, the airspeed may increase. Thus we highly suggest flying with caution and landing as soon as possible when it prompts a high wind warning. Rest assured your feedback will be forwarded to the relevant team. This will help us to further optimize and improve our products. Thank you for your suggestion.

What's not particularly smart or useful is when you get the warning when the drone is upwind and having no trouble coming home with a tailwind.
I captured this after a long flight back with repeated warnings, despite the drone easily making normal top speed all the way back.

The warnings for everything are so intrusive to the pilot, we want to silence them, making them useless.  Look how large that warning is on the screen, repeatedly displaying the same message while blocking the field of view.   How about small indicators on the screen, wind, plane, ect, like a car dash?

How about a check box that says "DO NOT SHOW THIS AGAIN."

I understand. This concern was already forwarded to the related team for evaluation. Thank you for your feedback.
