SW winds around 15 to 20km at flying levels going a bit more NW towards afternoon. thermal climbs at peak hours to around 3600m. Some isolated Cu may form with a base near 4400m. Classic SW convergence will happen, though will be mainly blue, probably to the N side of the Ambles Valley and more […]
The instability problems seems to be moving off to the SE, however we still need to be a little cautious today. We will launch from PN though ay have to wait till later than yesterday for conditions. The flow early in the day is SE, but seems to move more SW later in the […]
there should be nice soaring conditions early on today with the light wind directly onto the main launch at Peña Negra. I cannot download a skew T so am unsure about the possibility of storms. the local forecast seems to think there will be. With this direction and predicted thermal heights we would normally do […]
A moderate SW flow today. We have a trough over central Spain and instability has increased compared to yesterday. Base looks around 3600m but we don´t really want to go there today. Very likely Cbs early afternoon. We cannot wait at the PN take off for it to come on, so we will go to […]
SW and convergence. High base to around 4000m and reasonable PG winds. Very good quality thermals. Epic stuff for a really big flight towards and beyond Segovia……….However, I am driving to the airport.
We continue with the Anticyclone and increasing temperatures. Hopefully less inverted than yesterday . We have less wind which may allow us to fly out towards the NE. There may be a local competition today so we should have more wind dummies. What Happened. A great day with plenty of us going from Barco and […]
Potentially not a bad day. We continue with the NE flow, Once again an inversion , the not so abrupt, at 2600, but climbs to c3000m should deb possible later in the day. The wind maybe light enough to take the NW track of yesterday (see track log and map below). this would take […]
A more stable day with less risk of high winds early on, though for sure at peak times the wind and thermal strength on the ground will get a bit uncomfortable. However, with the forecast we can expect to get a more enjoyable PG day. There is a strong inversion at 2600m, so most of […]
The Atlanic high is positioning itself to give us sunny weather for the week. However, today the tail end of a cold front with pass through. Winds are actually a little stronger than yesterday. Once again today it will be worth getting into the air early before we have problems getting off. Here is a […]
