O dear!.  Not looking remotely OK for this morning.  The Cb may run its course and give us an opportunity for later this afternoon, but I am not hopeful. Gavin mention and interest in Karts.  Salamanca fiestas start today.   The Kart track is open. //www.kartsensalamanca.com

Today may be ok with similar winds as previous days.  However, the cirrus may mean that the thermals never reach the potential of the skew T prediction (over 3000m).  Also it may not come onto PN take off.  This is the first major low (and rain prediction for tomorrow) which will affect us since Mid […]

Perhaps a better day without the low level clouds reducing heating as yesterday.   Lightish W (15km/hr at launch and about 20km/hr at 3000m.  Should be good for a flight to Avila, maybe beyond if the N does not come into much at Avila.   Blue thermals, and inverted a little at 3200m. Late start […]

low claggy cloud this morning which is often a good sign after a run of southerlies as it indicates to us a wind change more to the north, moister, more buoyant conditions and often pleasant flying conditions.   Obvoiously we need to wait for it to burn off, but normally by mid day we should […]

An upper level trough may cause some congestus or localised storms later in the afternoon.  Initially blue thermals with temperatures between c 26 and 30 ºC and an early inversion at the start of 2600m, with higher temps we will see clouds and some build ups such as yesterday.  Cloud base over 3500m.    Generally […]

Warmer day with good xc prospects though the chance of some Congestus clouds spoiling the day for the less brave.  We may need to go to Lastra take off, and with the more south component may give us an opportunity to miss the Madrid TMA going between the Valladolid and Madrid Airspaces *see diagram. What […]

High pressure over the peninsula with a heat low forming.  A rise to temperatures not experienced for a week or so and light winds from the SW.  This is a great day for xc towards Avila and maybe beyond.   Light winds will give N at Avila, so will be possible to fly back to […]
