Base at 3800m with convergence running North
A hot day with temperatures to 34ºC +. Trigger temperature around 29ºC, but after that a temp trace with no inversions until 4000m, quite a contrast on last week. Winds to the south and not so strong perhaps within the boundary layer, but due to thermal strength we will get strong local thermic winds on the mountain peaks. If we look at the convergence predictions we have a strong convergence within our valley parallel to the hill and a line running from just West of Piedrahita towards Salamanca. Also strong sink on the hill (powerful downslope winds).
This is a very high quality thermic XC flying day with the major problem of getting into the air at the right site and the right time before the winds are too strong for launch. We will leave for Lastra or Chia South take offs around 10am and brief at 9.30.
