A weak cold front approaching. Good thermal conditions with climbs above 3000m an some big Cu buid up later in the day. Wind from SW perhaps on limit for paragliding safely. SSW at launch at 9am. Potential for big distance for the brave! We have to decide if we go to Latra or Peña Negra. […]
Spain certainly seems to be getting the best of European weather this week. Generally light winds from the west with expected convergence in the Ambles valley. A good day to fly beyond Avila if luck (and skill) permit and we don´t find too much N wind at low levels at Avila. Probable light cirrus throughout […]
Post cold frontal conditions. We will miss out on the rain in N Spain as we are south of the passing ocluded front going through today. Winds at various points around us today (Avila, Bejar, Navaredonda) not above 15km/hr. The cloud forming on the mountain sould rise and disapate by mid day. The forecasted thermal […]
A westerly flow at all levels and quicly passing fronts with too much wind this morning for safe paragliding. If we look at this evenings skew T then we can see a rotartion to more NW wind and dropping of of speed. Tomorrow and the day after look good with good thermal potential, heights and […]
Blue thermals of good quality to 2600m with a 20km/hr W wind around take off height as the day develops. A reasonable XC day with good potential for flights beyond Avila. Blue convergence likely in the Ambles Valley. Cirrus present for much of the day but which may slow things down. 17:00hrs Well, we had […]
The passage of the cold front leaves us with a cooler and moister flow. This mornings low Stratocumulus should thin and rise as the morning develops. I expect by midday we will be able to fly, with decent thermal conditions and light winds from NW going further to the N. The cloud base should rise […]
No chance this morning with another, more active coldfront passing through. Hopeflly Friday will give us a good day

An upper level flow of much more wind than previous days. Very good thermal quality with Cu as at around 2500m, though the wind may be excessive. An inversion at 2500m may allow the winds to be of a paraglidable strength, although as the day develops mixing down of winds is likely to make it […]
Back wind at take off so far this morning. High pressure still dominates but a head low seems to be forming just south of us. The winds are forecast to be around 15km/hr rising to 20km/hr at take of level. Local spanish forecast gives no sign of storms, yet the skew T does indicate some […]
