When drone racing is played in the Tampa Bay area
Drone racing events run mostly in fair weather, with indoor races in gyms or warehouses during winter in many areas.
Tampa has long, hot and humid summers with frequent thunderstorms. Summer heat and humidity push many outdoor games to mornings and evenings, and afternoon thunderstorms bring lightning delays. Plan heat breaks, buffer time, and a fast way to tell families when play stops.
