The next two days will be unflyable, however, from Thursday we have a recovery and then for the following week the meteorological occurrence which is termed the Veranillo de San Miguel. This is so common it has a name and refers the normally week long period of good weather with higher temperatures as we would […]
Today is something of a transition before the very deep low comes in and makes things very unflyable for tomorrow and wednesday. After that the Azores high will stabilise things and Thursday to Saturday should be very good flying days. Today we will try to make the most of things. The base will not go […]
The cold front is pushing in and we are in a low pressure sector and the winds are high from the SW. Best chance is early on at La Lastra but enjoyable flying is very unlikely. I´ll be around at 10am to see what we might do on this potentially fun packed day…Walking routes, city […]
From the Hirlam surface winds we can see a typical convergence setting up running for about 200km in the afternoon. Winds are SW and on the stronger side. It is unlikely to be any good for decent evening soaring so this is the day for sure to go big if you can. Thermal tops altitude […]
Briefing at 10am. We will try to get going to PN by 10.30am. Wind at 9.15 is cross on the hill. Take off before 11.45 is unlikely as conditions will be poor early on, Not a bad day with good climbs later in the afternoon to c3000m but an inversion near take off height at […]
Today the forecast is a bit stronger than anticipated. Perhaps around 30km/hr at 2400m. Also throughout the day we are going to have a degree of cirrus which will slow things down, especially as there seems to be an inversion at around 2600m. As the afternoon progresses the wind is due to veer more to […]
A decent day for a flight to Avila, much more maybe difficult due to the N aspect in the wind. The wind is on the hill lightly form sun up, this means that it may get stronger at launch earlier when the thermals kick in. Thermal trigger point at 12 is around 22ºC with very […]
What Happened!. A decent day with very good climbs to near 3000m early in the day. Some of us went to Barco landing due to poss overdevelopment. For the evening flight 8 of us did the run to Barco in great thermic conditions. Weather forecast Wind at 8.30am is very light on top of PN […]
This should be an interesting soaring day. We have light E winds, and W above the boundary layer. Thermals should be fine, with some Cu development later in the afternoon. Trigger temp around 20§C, so it does not need to get too hot for it to work well. There is quite a lot of Cirrus […]
The frontal system moves to the east as the day progresses and by 5pm we can see that the skew T shows storms or cloud formation to be unlikely. Winds will be N, so OK for PN. Lets hope so. For the moment no plans for flying. Puri wants to go to Salamanca if there […]
