OKToFly is a tool I made using the Dark Sky API in Python to check if the weather is good to fly your drone. It takes the different aspects of the weather - temperature, wind and precipitation rate - and compiles it into an easy to understand score.

OKToFly also has a 6-hour forecast outlook for future flying conditions.
OKToFly also factors in severe weather alerts…
And is smart enough to not recommend flying in a thunderstorm.
…and OKToFly tries to keep you safe…
But sometimes OKToFly is a bit dumb with the algorithm. Flying your drone on Mount Everest probably isn’t a good idea.
