Another Classic Day.

The Azores anticyclone in place and a heat low forming over the Peninsula.  Classic normal conditions for very good XC conditions here in central Spain.

The upper level flow in the boundary layer is from the SW,  however, winds are light so the vally breezes will dominate and convergence will be important for us today.  If you look at the surface winds airflow for 2pm you can see in the lightest blue the convergence running SW NE.  Ground winds do swing more to the N and NE beyond Avila, which is typical and makes going a long long way difficult.  We can try to get to Segovia or we can do an out and return to Avila…….or some such thing in between, depending upon luck and stamina I suppose.

I will be at the house for briefing between 10.30 and 11am.  Good soaring conditions are unlikely before 1.30 2pm, so we do not need to rush.
