The trough seems to have moved more NE and today we should start out with light N winds, perhaps moving more to the NW by the late afternoon. It will be cold , zero degrees C at cloud base this morning (2600m), and cloud development should be restricted. However, later in the afternoon we will […]
Winds forecasts are now showing good light direction from SW W NW, so it will come onto Peña Negra launch. However, cold air aloft and low pressure almost guarantee a day of growing Cbs . Wind at launch at 9am was SE light. There is already a significant Cb growing to the west of […]
There is nothing easy about today. South winds which once again are on the strong side, and deep instability which will most probably lead to Cbs by mid afternoon. However, winds are lightening by around pm and moving to the West so it should come onto PN for the evening flight , if we are […]
For those looking to get the sightseeing bus (Helen )(10.44 to Madrid) then you are not too late yet. This day is totally unsuitable for safe enjoyable PB .
No the best day for XC paragliding. We have a trough over central spain and th super level instability could lead to some problems of towering clouds , rain and even storms. The south wind won’t help us as we will have to wait for it to come on at PN or go to our […]
Clouds at potentially near 4000m, winds light from SW to NW. Excellent thermal quality. What could go wrong! This is an ideal day for going over the pass and beyond Avila, though later in the day and along the track after Avila it may go more north. Excellent opportunity for 100km. 1500 What Happened. Great […]
Light E with blue thermals to 3100m Better wind forecast today for paragliding. A marked inversion at 3100, but heating to 30 degrees may give us some cumulus (potentially towering). We can wait a little today for better thermic conditions as there is less risk of strong winds. Very unstable with rain and storms […]
Not as strong at suspected, and very light at take off at 8.30 am. Skew T is showing light, but local a bit stronger from the NE. Good quality thermals, with aybe an inversion early on around 2500m, but later going over 3000m. A trough in the Pyrenees, but that instability won’t affect us. […]
It should be a good day with much less chance of overdevelopment (which of course never happened yesterday). Winds mainly N or NE in the convective layer and more NW around base and above. Winds likely to get stronger and more East at the end of the day. A potentially good day to repeat Bernt´s […]
Light north wind with perhaps NNW in the Avila Valley and NNE in our region will make it easier flying towards the Barco direction. Instability still persists, but less than yesterday. A very good XC day with high potential if the towering cumulus stays away or we can fly to a region with less problems […]
