/ About Windrung: Drone Weather & Kp
Windrung is a drone weather app for pilots: hourly drone flying weather for 7 days, with wind by height, gusts, the Kp index and GNSS satellite geometry. Every hour is checked against the limits of your own aircraft, and every verdict says why: the factor, the value, the limit and the height. It answers the weather side of the question every pilot asks: can I fly my drone today, and which hours fit my limits?
WHAT YOU GET
- Good flying weather, Marginal or Poor flying weather for each hour, with the limiting factor spelled out instead of a bare red dot.
- Wind by height: mean wind and gusts from the ground to your flight altitude and above, the mixing layer, and which values come from the model and which are interpolated.
- Flight windows: a 7-day strip and a week view show the hours that fit your limits; compare up to three places side by side.
- Profiles by aircraft class and task: small multirotor, weather-sealed, FPV, fixed-wing and VTOL; photo and video, mapping, thermal survey of solar panels or buildings.
- Kp index for your latitude: thresholds follow the geomagnetic latitude of your site, with an RTK/PPK mode and a 3-day Kp forecast.
- GNSS geometry: PDOP, satellite count and a sky plot for the constellations your receiver uses and your elevation mask, computed on the phone.
- Cloud base, model visibility, icing risk, dew point, fog and lens-fogging hints, and a flight-time estimate from air density, battery cold and wind.
- Light and planning: civil twilight, blue and golden hour, sun azimuth, shoot plans that track forecast drift, a pre-flight checklist, a daily notification and a home-screen widget.
HONEST BY DESIGN
Your places, profiles, plans and settings stay on your phone. You can export them to a file or delete everything at any time. Location is optional and approximate: the point is rounded before it is sent to Open-Meteo for the forecast. You can also search for a place or enter coordinates. Cached forecasts stay readable offline.
Data sources: Open-Meteo.com (CC BY 4.0), NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (swpc.noaa.gov), CelesTrak. Windrung is an independent app and is not affiliated with any government agency, aviation authority or drone manufacturer.
Windrung gives weather information to help you plan. It is not flight authorization, an airspace check or an official aviation weather briefing. Forecasts can be wrong. You alone are responsible for deciding whether and where to fly and for following local rules (for example FAA in the US, EASA and your national aviation authority in Europe).

/ Notes
Choose a place and aircraft profile, set the limits that matter to your flight and inspect each hour’s limiting factor. Compare places and use the week view to plan a possible window, then refresh the forecast before making a flight decision.
Planning with weather information
Windrung combines weather forecasts, wind by height, geomagnetic information and on-device GNSS geometry. A favourable rating describes the configured weather limits; it does not check airspace, grant permission to fly or replace an official aviation briefing. Forecasts can be wrong, and the pilot remains responsible for the decision and applicable rules.
Data sources include Open-Meteo, NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center and CelesTrak. Windrung is independent of government agencies, aviation authorities and drone manufacturers.
Available for Android on Google Play. The gallery uses real English Android screens, including illustrative forecast examples. Your saved places, profiles and plans stay on your device. Forecast requests use rounded coordinates; cached information remains readable offline. No account is required.
