The depression to our NW in the atlantic affects most of Spain and give us wind and rain today.  Payback for flying every day last week perhaps!     Wind will  remain in the SW and without sunshine, and due to the strength, any flying is unlikely. Tomorrow and following days the wind should be […]

  Lighter winds and in the valley we should feel more of a NW and maybe more N at Avila which may stop us there if we are low.  This should be a nice day for paragliding XC.  Geert will have it difficult to beat his new PB though as the wind is lighter.  Must […]

1800hrs 25ºC A situation not disimilar to yesterday.  Blue themals if the forecast max is 25ºC, however, if 35ºC reached, as yesterday, then there will be congestus forming in the valley.  This will happen at a lower temp in the mountains. Winds will once again lighten and move to the north west later in the […]

    Frontal systems affect the NW of Spain.  More wind than yesterday and absence of cloud.  Winds are SW but hopefully will come onto PN.  More North by the end of the day.  Thermal tops should be above 3200m.  A good day for open XC. What Happened Today I was a little involved with […]

Should be a nice day with a light SW wind and probably convergence in Ambles.  base around 3000m.  What could possibly go wrong! What Happened Pretty much as forecast.  5 of us over the Pass.  Great racing conditions in the convergence with somewhat big Cu at times.  Geert went down for a Pee at 72km […]

    A weak cold front going through after which temps will rise.  A bit stable and risk of some Congestus build up especially in the Ambles Valley.  Should be an OK day for PG   What Happened Nice conditions though spread out put us on the ground before the Pass on the first attempt. […]

  We should have a reasonable flying day with base around 2600m and good thermal quality.  Winds in the SW, so  some convergence expected in the Ambles valley.  Low Stratocumulus should burn off by  around 11am and I imagine we can be on our way by 12.30. We will go up when the cloud starts […]

Relentless low pressure.  Wind will be on Peña Negra today, but chances of storms or  rain is high.  looking OK for tomorrow afternoon and Monday.  Lets hope a  normal June conditions to resume.  

Oh Dear! this will continue to Sunday I am afraid.
