# Safe-to-fly verdict

> 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.

**Free**

*Last updated: 2026-10-14*

The home screen answers one question: **is it safe to fly your drone here, at this hour?**

## How the verdict is decided

The app compares every value available for the place and hour you picked with the limits of your drone:

- wind speed and gusts;
- precipitation probability and visibility;
- temperature and cloud cover;
- the KP index (geomagnetic activity);
- the number of visible GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou satellites.

When all values are inside your limits the verdict is **Safe to fly** (green). When some are close to a limit it is **Fly with caution** (yellow). When at least one goes over a limit it is **Not suitable for flying** (red). Each card shows its own colour, so you see at once which value is the problem.

## Plan the next hours and days

Drag the timeline to move through the next hours and the 7 days of the forecast: the verdict and the cards follow. Times are always the local time of the place you searched, not the clock of your phone, so a flight abroad is planned in the right time zone.

## Limits that match your drone

The limits come from your drone model, chosen among [79 presets](https://droneweatherforecast.app/features/drone-limits), or from the values you type yourself. Missing data is shown as missing, never as zero, and never turns the verdict green.
