Wind & gust spread

Good: sustained wind at or below 10 mph

Caution: 10–15 mph or gusty conditions

Grounded: over 20 mph or beyond your limits

Visibility

Keep the model clearly visible throughout flight

Haze and low cloud reduce orientation

Do not launch when visual contact is uncertain

Rain & lightning

Dry conditions are best for electronics

Land before nearby storms arrive

No flying in precipitation or thunder

These thresholds are general guidance, not clearance to fly. Weather can change quickly. Follow current park notices, FAA rules, AMA guidance, club rules, and the limits of your model and experience. Lightning nearby means flying stops; wait at least 30 minutes after the last thunder.
