Drone Weather Forecast is a free Android and iOS app for drone pilots, without ads. Most features are free; the ones marked Pro come with the optional Pro upgrade, sold as an annual subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase (pricing). Each feature has its own page below.

Safe-to-fly verdict

Free · One colour that tells you whether the weather suits your drone: every value of the forecast is compared with the limits of your own model.

7-day hourly forecast

Free · Temperature, rain, cloud cover, visibility, sunrise and sunset, hour by hour for the next 7 days, at the exact coordinates you searched.

Wind speed, gusts and direction

Free · Ground wind and gusts hour by hour, compared with the maximum wind resistance of your drone, and the direction the wind comes from.

Wind profile by altitude

Pro · Wind and estimated gusts at 12 heights from 10 m to 4,200 m, so you know what your drone will meet when it climbs.

KP index and geomagnetic storms

Free · The planetary KP index, current and forecast, with a limit you choose: high values disturb GPS accuracy and the compass of your drone.

Visible GNSS satellites

Free · How many GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou satellites are above the horizon at your place and hour, computed from their orbits.

No-fly zone map

Free · Official airspace data and DJI GEO zones on one map, with the stepped height limits around airports. It works offline.

Photo spots: where to fly

Free · A map of viewpoints, waterfalls, coast, mountains, heritage sites and more, with the airspace status and the forecast of each place.

Limits for your drone model

Free · Pick your drone among 79 presets from 9 manufacturers and the wind, temperature and satellite limits adjust automatically, or type your own.

Multiple drones

Pro · Save several drones, each with its own limits and settings, and switch the active one right from the home screen.

Hourly forecast table

Pro · Every indicator for every hour of the coming days in one scrollable table, each cell coloured against the limits of your drone.

Wind compass

Pro · A compass that points into the wind, shows the magnetic and true heading and warns about magnetic interference before you calibrate.

Choice of weather source

Pro · The forecast comes from Open-Meteo for free; Pro users can switch to Apple WeatherKit or WeatherAPI, merged with Open-Meteo altitude winds.

Favourite places

Pro · Save the places you fly most and jump to their forecast in one tap.

Pre-flight checklists

Free · Create your own checklists, tick them off before every flight and keep a history of the checks you completed.

Pilot community

Free · A moderated forum to ask questions, share tips and post aerial photos, filtered by language. Reading is free; posting comes with Pro.

Your units, your language

Free · Wind in km/h, m/s, mph or knots, temperature in °C or °F, heights in metres or feet, 12 or 24-hour clock, in 16 languages.
