All data can be turned into music, probably. And you can most definitely do it with weather data. Here’e more via Bobby Owsinski
Dr. Smart (a fitting name) used a month of data of Christchurch (the second largest city in New Zealand) temperature, rainfall, windspeed and direction, as well as other rainfall, river and sea levels. These were then fed into a computer that converted the data into a musical score that played those hourly values at a rate of four per second. Different instruments were assigned to each different weather elements, like wind (percussion – cymbals), rain (bells) temperature (strings), river flow (flutes), and rainfall (brass).

If you are looking to get a little more oomph out of your drone, check out these tips from Drone Blog:
It’s not always feasible to just go out and upgrade the drone, but there are some things you can do to give the drone you have a little bit of a boost in making it more powerful.
1. Install More Efficient Propellers
Propellers play a very crucial part when it comes to making a drone fly. Propellers convert rotational motion into thrust that pushes the drone up and enables it to stay in the air….
Welcome to drone day on the Adafruit blog. Every Monday we deliver the latest news, products and more from the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), quadcopter and drone communities. Drones can be used for video & photography (dronies), civil applications, policing, farming, firefighting, military and non-military security work, such as surveillance of pipelines. Previous posts can be found via the #drone tag and our drone / UAV categories.

Hopefully some of this drone footage will be published – albatross and rockhopper penguin colonies oh my! From Bird Guides:
“Using drone surveys and deep learning gives us an alternative that is remarkably accurate, less disruptive and significantly easier,” said Madeline C Hayes, a remote-sensing analyst at the Duke University Marine Lab. “One person, or a small team, can do it, and the equipment you need to do it isn’t all that costly or complicated.”
