Thought as much, lol.

I’m the same as you with checking weather conditions on my weather station before I fly, only if I fly locally.

I think my max budget would be the same as yours £30. Still looking but I have that link you posted to full back on.

Getting pretty cold here (30-40s F or 0-10C for highs), and am wondering what the minimum temperature recommendations are for flying in cold temps and what to expect from performance. Thanks!

Yes, wore ThinsulateView attachment 51763 (or something like them) gloves this morning.
Control was just as with none.
They're very old and have holes in the fingers that were repaired with French liquid material glue that comes in a yellow squeeze container (forgot what it's called) but I was able to control my tablet with them on anyway, plus my digits were toasty

Edit; I have some NothFace on order
The North Face Etip Unisex Outdoor Gloves

Yep I own those they seem to work ok so far we had -9c a few weeks back and I had no problems

Another cold weather tip
Potatoe starch or water repellent helps with condensation when temperatures get below freezing.
High humidity in the cold can cause props to ice up.

Fly Safe
