Sunny Day with NE and climbs unto 3200m

September 30th, 2014 - Posted by Steve Ham

Not a bad day with an inversion at 3200 which will prevent cloud build up.  The wind is in the E and light.  An XC to Barco should be realistic.

Light winds but still some instability

September 29th, 2014 - Posted by Steve Ham

light winds from the west so we should have the wind on at the main site of PN.  A trough over us though should brighten towards the end of the day.  Still a risk of could build up and showers mid afternoon/  Certainly looking better tomorrow and we should be able to get some flying […]

SE, stronger and rain later

September 27th, 2014 - Posted by Steve Ham

Wind is SE at a launch and forecast to be unto 30km/hr at launch level.  This may  come onto Peña Negra due to the anabatic slope wind, but we must be wary flying the lee in these conditions. Here is why https://vimeo.com/64294975 Maybe a small thatch at Chia, the SE site.  But we will see […]

If the wind comes […]

Storms and ran

September 23rd, 2014 - Posted by Steve Ham

The very unstable conditions continues with cold humid air coming from the south favouring quick development of storms across the Peninsula.  Lighter wind from the SW, so we may get an early opportunity, and maybe at the end of the day.  However, sky is not clear this morning so we will see how things develop […]
