West wind. 3000m+ blue thermals
Situation
Further development of the heat low. Today we will have more wind from the west, approx 20km/hr at take of level. This may lighten a little late afternoon and move a little to the NW. Thermal tops above 3000m with principally blue thermals in the plains.
What Happened
I went off early but found strong westerlies and monster climbs which was somewhat uncomfortable. I landed at the windmill is 20km/hr wind and turbulence. A HG pilot going off later also found strong climbs to 3500m and epic cloud streets in the Avila valley. You need to be a bit brave for such conditions!
