EXPLORERUK WEATHER

Check the weather before you take off.

Open Flyable for a seven-day forecast, hourly conditions and a clearer picture of the wind and rain before planning your next drone flight.

Weather is a planning aid, not permission to fly. Always check official restrictions and conditions at your location.

Check flying weather ExplorerUK Home

Find it. Check it. Fly it.

Everything you check before a flight, on one map.

Every spot, every zoom

Pilot pins across the UK, clustered so you see coverage at a glance. Filter to sub-250g friendly, verified or heritage.

Fly check

Wind, gusts, wind at 120 m, rain, visibility, Kp and golden hour — rated against your aircraft. Planning only, never a go / no-go.

Real footage

Watch clips filmed at that exact pin before you travel. Not a random video from somewhere else.

Live check-ins

Tap “I'm flying here” and the pin pulses for other pilots. See where people are actually flying today.

Spot reports

Gate locked? Cattle in the field? No signal? Pilots tap what they saw, and pins flown by 3+ pilots get a verified tick.

Checklist + logbook

Twelve-point pre-flight checklist that saves straight to your logbook. Export to CSV any time.

Works like an app

Add it to your home screen.

Command Hub installs like an app on Android and iPhone — no app store. Pins and map tiles you've opened stay saved for moors with no signal.

  1. Android / Chrome: open the map, then Hub → Install app.
  2. iPhone: open the map in Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen.

Fly legal. Fly responsibly.

ExplorerUK helps you find and research somewhere to fly. It never gives permission and never shows a green “safe to fly” light. Always check current official flight restrictions, airspace information and CAA requirements. Community notes, check-ins, conditions and clips are not a clearance.
