See when it is safe to fly and check the forecast for your spot. *Last updated: 2026-09-17* The **FIMI X8 Mini 3** 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 **0 °C to 40 °C** (32 °F to 104 °F). It positions itself with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. ## Weather limits of the FIMI X8 Mini 3 | Limit | Value | |---|---| | Maximum wind resistance | 38 km/h · 10.6 m/s · 24 mph · 21 kn | | Beaufort scale | 5 — Fresh breeze | | Operating temperature | 0 °C … 40 °C (32 °F … 104 °F) | | Satellite systems | GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou | ## When is it safe to fly the FIMI X8 Mini 3? 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. → [Wind at altitude: why it is windier up there](https://droneweatherforecast.app/guides/wind-at-altitude) ## Cold and heat The FIMI X8 Mini 3 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. → [Flying a drone in cold weather](https://droneweatherforecast.app/guides/flying-a-drone-in-cold-weather) ## GPS and satellites The FIMI X8 Mini 3 uses GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. 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. → [How many satellites does a drone need?](https://droneweatherforecast.app/guides/drone-gps-satellites) → [The KP index explained for drone pilots](https://droneweatherforecast.app/guides/kp-index-for-drone-pilots) ## Similar drones | Model | Max wind | Temperature | |---|---|---| | [FIMI X8 Mini](https://droneweatherforecast.app/drones/fimi-x8-mini) | 38 km/h | 0 … 40 °C | | [FIMI X8 Mini 3 SE](https://droneweatherforecast.app/drones/fimi-x8-mini-3-se) | 38 km/h | -10 … 40 °C | | [FIMI X8 Mini V2](https://droneweatherforecast.app/drones/fimi-x8-mini-v2) | 38 km/h | 0 … 40 °C | | [FIMI X8 Pro](https://droneweatherforecast.app/drones/fimi-x8-pro) | 40 km/h | 0 … 40 °C | | [DJI Air 2S](https://droneweatherforecast.app/drones/dji-air-2s) | 38 km/h | 0 … 40 °C | | [DJI Avata](https://droneweatherforecast.app/drones/dji-avata) | 38 km/h | -10 … 40 °C | [Drone wind limits: max wind speed of 77 drones](https://droneweatherforecast.app/drones) ## Frequently asked questions ### How much wind can the FIMI X8 Mini 3 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 FIMI X8 Mini 3 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 FIMI X8 Mini 3 fly in the rain? Drone Weather Forecast treats rain above your precipitation limit as a no-fly condition for every model. Check the FIMI X8 Mini 3 manual for its water resistance before flying in wet weather. ### What is the minimum temperature for the FIMI X8 Mini 3? 0 °C (32 °F); the maximum is 40 °C (104 °F). → [Can you fly a drone in the rain?](https://droneweatherforecast.app/guides/can-you-fly-a-drone-in-the-rain) *Limits from the manufacturer specifications, as set in the app's drone presets.
