Weather conditions are a critical factor in drone operation. Access to current meteorological data can help improve maneuverability and prevent damage to the UAV and its surroundings. These are some important parameters to monitor for safe drone operation:
Temperature: UAVs are designed to fly within certain temperature ranges. Extremes can cause damage, overheating, and shorter flight times due to battery drain.
Wind Speed/Gusts: High wind speed and strong gusts cause difficulty in maneuvering and steady positioning.
Precipitation, Humidity: UAV functionality can be challenged in increased moisture conditions.
As drone technology is adopted for a wide range of uses, access to current met data can be a key factor in the plan of action.
