Know in seconds if you can fly. UAV Weather is the drone weather app built exclusively for drone and UAV pilots — not repurposed from a generic weather tool, but designed from the ground up for every decision you make before takeoff. Instant Go/No-Go Decision Stop guessing. UAV Weather analyzes real-time conditions against your personal thresholds and shows a single green Go or red No-Go verdict. Tap it to see exactly which conditions are failing — wind speed, gusts, temperature, precipitation, humidity, cloud ceiling, visibility, KP index, satellite count — and why. No hunting through forecasts. No doing the math yourself. Purpose-Built for Every Type of Drone Pilot Choose your pilot profile and UAV Weather configures itself automatically: • Recreational — casual flyers who want safe, enjoyable conditions • Part 107 — commercial pilots who need FAA compliance baked in • Cinematic — filmmakers who need calm air and golden-hour awareness • FPV Racing — speed pilots who fly in tighter windows All thresholds are fully adjustable. Set the exact wind speed, gust limit, temperature range, and precipitation probability that matter to your workflow. Winds Aloft — True Multi-Altitude Forecasts See wind speed and direction at the altitude you actually fly — SFC, 100 ft, 250 ft, 500 ft, 1,000 ft, 2,000 ft, 3,000 ft, and up to 16,000 ft AGL. Powered by GFS model data up to 14 days out. Wind arrows show true per-altitude direction, not surface data projected upward. No-Fly Zones & Airspace Built-in no-fly zone detection checks your location against UAV restriction zones from FAA and HIFLD data — prisons, military facilities, nuclear sites, stadiums, hospitals with helipads — and flags them in your Go/No-Go verdict before you ever leave the house. Live airspace overlays show Class B, C, D, and E airspace. TFRs (Temporary Flight Restrictions) update in real time. Professional Pre-Flight Weather Brief The Weather Brief gives you a structured, pilot-style pre-flight summary: wind, temperature, atmospheric conditions, GPS satellite count, Part 107 daylight window, and a final pass/fail verdict. Share it as a PDF before every commercial flight. Multi-Location Go/No-Go Dashboard Monitor conditions at every location you fly — each saved location shows Go/No-Go status at a glance with color-coded cards and specific failure details. Perfect for planning which site to visit on a busy shoot day. 13 Condition Cards with Hourly Trends Tap any condition — wind, gusts, cloud ceiling, visibility, AQI, UV index, precipitation rate, humidity, KP index, and more — to see an hourly bar chart and trend direction: improving, worsening, or stable. Interactive Aviation Weather Map Overlay Global Radar, NWS Alerts, AIRSIGMETs, Wildfires, ADS-B live traffic, No-Fly Zones, TFRs, and Winds Aloft layers over a crisp base map. Animate radar, scrub the timeline, and zoom into your exact flight zone. Part 107 Compliance Tools Legal sunrise/sunset window markers on the day timeline. Night flight restrictions built into Go/No-Go. Cloud ceiling and visibility thresholds aligned with FAA visual meteorological conditions. Proactive Weather Alerts Get in-app notifications when conditions shift at your saved locations — before you drive to the field. UAV Weather supports 18+ languages and both imperial and metric units. Download UAV Weather — the drone weather app that gives you a clear answer, not more data to interpret.
