Should you fly in this weather or not?

Flying your drone when bad weather is on the way can be risky and dangerous. Aerojo uses several sources to determine if Aerial Drone Operations can be conducted safely or not. We use sites such as Weatherunderground because they have good hour to hour forecasts as well as good Doppler Radar. The Hover App is a good quick source to check if things are good to go where your currently located. We also use windy.com to see how things are blowing. The point is that we never rely on just one source to make sure we have weather that is safe for Aerial Drone Operations. If weather is turning bad keep your drone close and land before wind, visibility or precipitation start. Getting great images shouldn't come at the risk of your drone or anyone else.
