About UAV Meteo

Last reviewed: August 2026

What UAV Meteo is

UAV Meteo is a free, browser-based weather and flight-planning tool for drone pilots — consumer, FPV and professional mapping/survey alike. It turns raw weather and orbital data into a single, drone-specific go / caution / no-go read: wind, gusts, visibility, precipitation, temperature, cloud cover, daylight, wind at four altitudes, GNSS satellite visibility, and geomagnetic (Kp) activity. No account, no installation, and no payment is required for any of it.

Who's behind it

UAV Meteo is written and maintained by its UAV Meteo Editorial Team — the same byline you'll see on every guide article on this site. The site is independently run, not affiliated with any drone manufacturer, and every threshold and rating shown is UAV Meteo's own methodology, not an endorsement or certification from any of the third-party data providers listed on our Data Sources page.

How the ratings work

Every metric is rated Good, Caution or Not Suitable against a threshold that's either derived from your own configured drone profile (its manufacturer wind rating, for example) or a documented generic default when no profile is set. The full breakdown of exactly how each threshold is chosen and how the overall status is calculated from the individual metrics lives on our How UAV Meteo Works guide — we'd rather show our work than ask you to trust a black box.

Where the data comes from

Forecasts, space-weather indices and GNSS orbital elements come from a mix of public meteorological and space-tracking sources (Open-Meteo, NOAA SWPC, GFZ Potsdam, CelesTrak and others) plus commercial geocoding providers for place search. Every upstream source, with attribution, is listed on our Data Sources & Credits page.

How this site is funded

UAV Meteo is free to use and supported by display advertising (Google AdSense) rather than a paywall or a paid tier — see our Privacy Policy for details on what that means for your data.

What this site is not

UAV Meteo is a weather and planning aid, not a certified flight-safety, legal, or airspace-authorization service. It doesn't replace checking NOTAMs, local airspace restrictions, or your jurisdiction's aviation regulations before flying — see our Legal & Disclaimer page for the full terms.
