Autel EVO Lite+ wind limit and weather limits

The Autel EVO Lite+ handles wind up to 61 km/h (16.9 m/s, Beaufort 7) and 0 to 40 °C. See when it is safe to fly and check the forecast for your spot.

Last updated:

The Autel EVO Lite+ is rated for wind up to 61 km/h (16.9 m/s · 38 mph · 33 kn), which is Beaufort 7 — Near gale, and for temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). It positions itself with GPS.

When is it safe to fly the Autel EVO Lite+?

Drone Weather Forecast compares every hour of the forecast with these limits and gives one colour:

  • Green — wind and gusts up to 55 km/h (90 % of the limit).
  • Yellow — between 55 and 61 km/h: fly with caution, a gust can push the drone past its limit.
  • Red — above 61 km/h, or rain, low visibility, too few satellites or a KP index above 4.

Gusts are judged against the same limit as the average wind, and the wind at your flying height is usually stronger than at ground level. The Pro wind profile shows the forecast from 10 m up to 4,200 m.

Cold and heat

The Autel EVO Lite+ is not rated for flight below 0 °C. Near that limit batteries deliver less energy: keep them warm until take-off and plan shorter flights.

GPS and satellites

The Autel EVO Lite+ uses GPS. For your position, Drone Weather Forecast counts the visible satellites of these systems and warns when fewer than 9 are locked; a KP index above 4 (geomagnetic storm) can also disturb GPS and the compass.

Frequently asked questions

How much wind can the Autel EVO Lite+ handle?

Up to 61 km/h (16.9 m/s, 38 mph), Beaufort 7. Above that it may not hold its position or fly back against the wind. Drone Weather Forecast starts warning at 55 km/h.

Can the Autel EVO Lite+ fly in 45 km/h wind?

Yes. 45 km/h is below its 61 km/h limit and below the 55 km/h caution threshold, so the app shows green — as long as the gusts also stay below 55 km/h.

Can the Autel EVO Lite+ fly in the rain?

Drone Weather Forecast treats rain above your precipitation limit as a no-fly condition for every model. Check the Autel EVO Lite+ manual for its water resistance before flying in wet weather.

What is the minimum temperature for the Autel EVO Lite+?

0 °C (32 °F); the maximum is 40 °C (104 °F).

Can you fly a drone in the rain?

Limits from the manufacturer specifications, as set in the app's drone presets. Always follow your drone manual and local aviation rules.
