How much wind can the DJI Mini 1 (Mavic Mini) handle? DroneChecker marks it Do Not Fly above 28.8 km/h (18 mph, 8 m/s) in sustained wind or gusts, with a Caution line from 18 km/h (11 mph) sustained or 21 km/h (13 mph) in gusts.
The original 249g Mavic Mini from 2019, the drone that created the sub-250g category and is still a common first drone bought second-hand in the UK.

Manufacturers publish one figure: the maximum wind speed a drone is rated to resist. The Do Not Fly line above is based on that figure for the DJI Mini 1 (Mavic Mini). The Caution line is DroneChecker's own margin below it, because a drone flown right at its limit has nothing left in reserve.
Two speeds are checked separately. Sustained wind is the steady average; gusts are the short peaks above it, and they are what tends to push a small drone around. A day with a calm average but strong gusts can be harder to fly in than a steady breeze.
This is one of the least wind-tolerant airframes in the range, well below every Mini that followed it. If you have read a guide aimed at a newer Mini, or bought one used on the strength of general Mini advice, the real numbers here are considerably lower.
