Wind by altitude
Wind commonly speeds up and shifts direction with altitude — check this before climbing, especially on a return-to-home battery margin. Open-Meteo does not publish gust data above 10 m, so gusts aren't shown here at all.
Why use UAV Meteo?
Drone-specific weatherWeather organized around the conditions that actually affect UAV flights.
Wind at altitudeModeled wind speed and direction at 10m, 80m, 120m and 180m.

What Wind Speed Is Safe for Flying a Drone?Sustained wind, gusts, your drone's manufacturer limit, and UAV Meteo's generic threshold are four different numbers — here's how they relate and which one actually matters for your flight.
Wind Speed vs Gusts: What Drone Pilots Need to KnowAverage wind and gusts are rated separately on UAV Meteo for a reason — gusts are usually the more dangerous number for a small drone, and here's the mechanics of why.Why Wind Can Be Stronger at 120m Than at Ground LevelThe wind reading on the ground can be misleading once you climb — UAV Meteo's 10m/80m/120m/180m wind-by-altitude panel exists specifically because of this effect. Here's the meteorology behind it.
