The depression in the atlantic still persists sending us SW wind, and spinning off frontal systems. Today the wind is a little lighter, but not as much as I hoped.  It has come more to the west which is favourable for it to come onto Peña Negra launch.   At 9.30 am the wind at […]

The depression in the Atlantic continues to send us wind from the SW, but not as strong.  Today around 20km at take off level but still c. 50km&hr at 3100m, which is cloud base later in the afternoon.  It may come on to Peña Negra.   We shall have to see!   Wind looks like […]

No Surprises for today with strong SW once again and the passage of a Cold Front.  I was hoping that the cold front would bring the wind more to the W for tomorrow, however, even tomorrow it still looks very top end and too south to come onto Peña Negra launch.   However, as we […]

The low in the  Atlandic is deepening and sending off  fronts towards the Peninsula.   Very Strong winds from SW today.  May weaken sufficiently for tomorrow evening, and Sunday shaping up and next week looking good.

The approaching frontal systems and relative low are going to give us a tougher time today with the winds getting strong from the SW.   There is an inversion around the 2500m level, but which will probably break to get thermal tops around 3000m by the end of the afternoon, but also there will be […]

The passage of a cold front has cooled  and moisened things somewhat an this morning the clouds have been below take off level.  This should change by late morning and by mid afternoon we should have thermals to 2500m,  probably rising to a little above 3000m by late afternoon. The W winds should once again […]

A high pressure day with the winds now in the west, probably not in excess of 20 km inour flying levels. Good thermal quality and good potential for open XC towards Avila and beyond. Thermals to around 2500 and going to 3000m by end of afternoon in hot spots. We will talk a bit about […]

It should be a better day than yesterday with a little less wind and the orientation more N or NW.  We can probably travel either towards Barco or Avila, we will see once we are in the air.  Not such a need for an early take off as unlikely to blow out early in the […]

We have high pressure centred over the Azores which extends across to western Europe.  There is a heat low in the south of Spain and an isolated depression over the peninsula which will move east.   This will make the atmosphere more unstable but only cause problems with storms to the south east and later […]
