High pressure giving us nice weather for the weekend with generally NE flow at flying levels though more W at the boundry layer. Inverted around 2600m, but likely to go +3000m with the chance of some sparce Cu. I nice day for out and returns or an out to the W.
High level ridge and WSW at lower levels moving North late in the day. A base higher than the airspace after Avila, but not uncomfortably so. Inversion around 3000m , but likely blue climbs to 3200m. Looking good for open XC 100km+. Trigger temp 30ºC and likely to get going well in valley around […]
Situation the upper level stability has been displaced by a weak trough. Today a fair amount of upper level cloud which will reduce heating and the thermals will be weaker. Also the air quality seems very low as there seems to have been a fire upwind of us during the night. Moderate W winds moving […]
Situation Further development of the heat low. Today we will have more wind from the west, approx 20km/hr at take of level. This may lighten a little late afternoon and move a little to the NW. Thermal tops above 3000m with principally blue thermals in the plains. What Happened I went off early but found […]
Situation High pressure with a heat low forming. Surface winds are very light and there may be a tendancy to the NE, though upper level winds are to the W. It could go either way / for out and returns towards Avila or Barco. Good quality blue thermals to c 3200m. Another good day though […]
Situation Relative stability and a trigger temp at around 30ºC in the valley. Light NW winds moving to the N or NE at the end of the day as a weak cold front moves through. Good conditons not happening till at least 2pm, then very good conditions and a good day for flying to […]
Situation The upper level trough going across the N of Spain will have largely departed leaving us with more stability in the upper layers. Light winds (at PN at 8am very light from SE). Winds early at take off NE and more W at altitude. A good circuit flight day for Avila Valley and back […]
Situation An upper level trough moving though the N or Spain. Winds SW this morning and a little strong but reducing later in the afternoon and moving more to the North. Base around 3800m and the towering cumulus hopefully reducing later in the afternoon. It could be a tricky day if the wind does not […]
Situation The reduction in the instability is slower than predicted a few days back so we may still have some exciting looking Congestus clouds forming. XC potential is very high with good quality thermals. The W component make is good for Open XC towards Segovia. The problems maybe build up of cloud along the convergence. […]
Situation The upper level instability has moved further to the East, so today we should have less chance of large cloud build up and showers, though there will still be likely to be some congestus in convergence areas which maybe still problematic. Light winds, most likely from the NE at take off early on, […]
