Drone Weather in South Africa

Drone & RC conditions by location

Compare the listed forecast points in South Africa without leaving this page. Each uses the same drone & rc scoring model but its own coordinates and local time. These are selected locations, not complete national coverage.

The comparison requires JavaScript and access to Open-Meteo. Location details and city links work without it.

Plan an outing in South Africa

Search for the actual flying site, not just the nearest city. Compare the gust forecast with the limits in your aircraft manual, which may be lower than this model. Check precipitation and visibility independently. Confirm airspace and local restrictions with the responsible authority before flying.

This model does not check airspace restrictions, take-off permission, people below, aircraft type, altitude winds or the wind needed to fly home against a headwind. Its fixed thresholds are application settings, not a manufacturer rating for your aircraft.

Understand the coverage

Cape Town covers the point in Western Cape at -33.9249, 18.4241 (Africa/Johannesburg). The weather between these points is not interpolated by this comparison. There is one published point for this activity in this country; do not treat it as a national verdict.

Before choosing a time

• Inspect why an hour loses points, not only its colour.
• The next window may occur at night; check daylight and the full length of your outing.
• Use the city tool to inspect later hours or search for an exact location.
• Check official warnings and local restrictions separately.
