End of 6 day run of good conditions

Not a good situation for paragliding today. Upper level trough and surface low plus ealy on high humidiy at mid to upper layers casuing thick cloud. Presence of Sahara dust – which arrived dramatically when we were flying yesterday – does not improve things. A bid drop in mid-upper level humidity my early afternoon shoud lead to clearing of much of the Altostratus. However with the extreme high groundtemperatures expected, rapid development of Cbs is probable. If that were not enough, surface winds may be in excess of 30km/hr. An evening flight may be possible as wind is forecast to drop off but anything earlier is unlikely and certainly very risky. Tomorrow looks better insome respects. W wind lighter but still strong and thermal soaring conditions much improved
