I was wondering if the wind strength / intensity (or what you call it ..?) is logged per each flight?

I was flying few times next to the ocean on cloudy day, and, the wind was quite strong, my drone complained that the wind it too strong and I should land asap. I ignored it, many times, and carred on.

I was amazed that it handled it, and returned Ok, and the videos all quite stable and don't give impression of any wind. Even though being at the place I know wind was strong, for the tiny drone anyway ...

The wind is not logged only the flight. I would recommend you trying the
UAV forecast app, it's free and gives all the info you need to help you
make decisions on when to or not to fly. It also show wind strength
from ground level up to 5000ft.

Hey Woe,

Yea thanks I was recommended the app and got it already.    I was just wondering if the drone itself logs somewhere...

It (wind) was strong my Mavic had to work hard even to keep still hovering, and , at an angle if turned. YET, it flew and performed very well.

No problem. The MP is known to be vey sensitive to the
wind, Just remember to fly into the wind and not against it.

This is from Airdata.com which can use Dji flight record.
Wind is calculated from other record in the flight log.

Oh thanks !

This is super. Can you give a hint to how to generate this?  Do you download log from drone, then use the app / feed it into it?
