Systems, computer readable medium and methods for navigation correction for excessive wind in an autonomous drone are disclosed. Excessive winds can be a particular problem for small autonomous drones as safety and retrieval of the autonomous drones is important and the autonomous drones often have limited thrust and batteries. Autonomous drones are disclosed that detect and correct flight plans when excessive winds are detected. The autonomous drone determines based on the severity of the excessive winds whether to return to a home position which is typically a position of a user of the autonomous drone or to land in place. If the excessive winds subside, then the autonomous drone returns to its original flight plan at the point where the autonomous drone was blown off course by the excessive winds. The autonomous drone detects excessive winds either directly by sensor data or inferentially by unanticipated movement of the autonomous drone.
