The DJI Mavic 2 Zoom is rated for wind up to 38 km/h (10.6 m/s · 24 mph · 21 kn), which is Beaufort 5 — Fresh breeze, and for temperatures from -10 °C to 40 °C (14 °F to 104 °F). It positions itself with GPS and GLONASS.

When is it safe to fly the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom?
Drone Weather Forecast compares every hour of the forecast with these limits and gives one colour:
- Green — wind and gusts up to 34 km/h (90 % of the limit).
- Yellow — between 34 and 38 km/h: fly with caution, a gust can push the drone past its limit.
- Red — above 38 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 DJI Mavic 2 Zoom is rated down to -10 °C. Batteries deliver less energy in the cold: keep them warm until take-off and expect shorter flights below about 10 °C.

GPS and satellites
The DJI Mavic 2 Zoom uses GPS and GLONASS. 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 DJI Mavic 2 Zoom handle?
Up to 38 km/h (10.6 m/s, 24 mph), Beaufort 5. Above that it may not hold its position or fly back against the wind. Drone Weather Forecast starts warning at 34 km/h.
Can the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom fly in 25 km/h wind?
Yes. 25 km/h is below its 38 km/h limit and below the 34 km/h caution threshold, so the app shows green — as long as the gusts also stay below 34 km/h.
Can the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom fly in the rain?
Drone Weather Forecast treats rain above your precipitation limit as a no-fly condition for every model. Check the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom manual for its water resistance before flying in wet weather.
What is the minimum temperature for the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom?
-10 °C (14 °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.
