How to choose the weather and venue for flying kites?

Wind is the first condition for flying kites. To make kites fly far, they must be stable and level, that is, choose windy weather and windy places to fly. In China, people fly kites in spring and autumn, mainly in spring. From beginning of spring to Tomb-Sweeping Day in the lunar calendar, the weather is warm and sunny, the air is fresh, the temperature is suitable, the scenery is charming, and the airflow often rises slowly, and the wind direction and speed are stable, which is suitable for flying kites. Because of the hot weather in summer, there is no sudden wind and rain from time to time, which is not suitable for flying kites. In winter, if the weather is clear and the wind direction is stable, you can also fly kites.

Flying kites should be carried out in open places without obstacles, such as beaches, sports grounds, squares and parks. Because the wind speed and direction in these places are relatively stable and there are few obstacles, even if the kite is broken, it will not hang on the obstacles and suffer losses.

It is worth noting that flying kites should be kept away from high-voltage lines and wires to avoid power failure or electric shock caused by kite winding on wires. Don't fly kites near busy roads, airports or railways to avoid traffic accidents. Avoid flying kites in hot summer or when storms come, not to mention in rainy days, especially when there is lightning. This is because kites are easy to conduct electricity when they are wet, and in rainy and thunderous weather, it is more likely to get an electric shock in the wild and mountainous areas, so we must pay special attention.
