A ridge of high pressure in gthe upper leves. Nice summer style weather for then next few days, though the formation of inversions will reduce thermal heights. Today perhaps not hot enough to make a really good day. Winds likely to be N to boundry layer, contrary to forecast in XC skies and NOA. We […]
The Cold front now having passed leaves us with a very interesting XC day. Winds in the West, though perhaps too North for really long flights beyond Avila. Good blue thermals of around 3-5m/s and convergence. Report @21:30: XC to Avila Well, the N came in a little so we stopped at Avila. Ken and […]
The depression of the SW of Ireland is moving NE and the asssociate cold front passed us in the early hours of this morning. High pressure is moving in and the current SW wind should moderte and move more the the N providing good paragliding conditions normally associated with this time of year – rather […]
We are still affected by low pressure to our north. Another day with SW flow at all levels. A temperature inversion will restrict convective clouds, however, the consistent wind direction with height and the inversion a little over the tops of the Gredos is perfect for Wave formation. Perhaps if we do fly, we will […]
Winds about the Province are SE and relatively light at the moment (c6km/hr in Navarendonda and Avila). However we are still affected by instability which may complicate the day. Less cirrus today and perhaps less proablility of early build up of mid level clouds which blocked the Anabatic winds on the sites yesterday. Wind is […]
The wind at take off at 8.30am is SW (over the back). Not too strong, and winds around the province are similarly light. Models show at least 20km/hr at take of level and the upper level instability may lead to Congestus build up during the day with some isolated storms. Convergence likely well to the […]
Great looking day, but not a sensible option for flying due to winds. An upper level trough is going to make the clouds the most important issue over the next few days. The winds are looking fine, but Congestus clouds may make life a little over exciting. Tomorrow the wind is quite S of W […]
Not a disimilar scenario to the last few days with fronts skimming the North of Spain and the deep depression over the UK. Ligher W winds today, but still near 20km/hr. Higher base with very good quality thermals and clouds at around 3200m later in the day with a posibility of some Congestus development. Convergence […]
Due to a last minute cancellation we now have space for next week. The weather is looking pretty good according to the local forecast through to Thursday and likely beyond. W and SW. Convergence and open disgtance towards Segovia!
The deep low pressure still continues over the UK, Belgium and Holland. Here the winds have reduced from yesterday, though still on the uncomfortable side. The wind at take off at 8.30am is W. Readings around the province and on the Plateau behind take off are generally light. What can we expect Blue convergence in […]
