All the same the meteorological support for the UAVs missions is often nonadequate or partly missing. In our paper we show a new complex meteorological support system for different types of UAVs pilots, specialists and decision makers, too. The mentioned system has two important parts with different forecasts approach such as the statistical and dynamical ones. The statistical prediction approach is based on a large climatological data base and the special analog method which is able to select similar weather situations from the mentioned data base to apply them during the forecasting procedure. The applied dynamic approach uses the specific WRF model runs twice a day and produces 96 hours, high resolution weather forecast for the UAV users over the Hungary. An easy to use webbased system can give important weather information over the Carpathian basin in CentralEurope. The mentioned products can be reached via internet connection.</abstract> <index>Open Science Index 76, 2013</index> </article>
