Looked light a decent day, though a bit breezy to start with. Nice evening conditions (N) when the new crew got back. Tandem photo from yesterday.. Tomorrow looking very good with ligh w, base around 3000m. Segovia here we come!
midnight past Skew T 1500 Passage of weak cold front yesterday cleared the air giving us greater visibility and improved thermal conditions. The heat low seems to be displaced further to the E and today the winds are lighter, probaby going more north towards the end of the day. Cloud base around 3000m with some […]
Once again probably high winds from the SW. A slim chance of a safe take off if the wind comes onto Peña negra . Not worth risking the S site at Lastra. Local mountain forewcast showing 65km at 3000m. Saturday still looking good. 17.30hrs Not too bad and every one flew OK till thewind started […]
The low pressure up near the UK moves more E introducing cooler air ovr the Peninsula. This will give a drop in temperature (though only to around 32ºC). Wind will continue to be very near, or probably over the limit for safe paragliding, though at the present time seems considerably better than yesterday a this […]
Not a good situation for paragliding today. Upper level trough and surface low plus ealy on high humidiy at mid to upper layers casuing thick cloud. Presence of Sahara dust – which arrived dramatically when we were flying yesterday – does not improve things. A bid drop in mid-upper level humidity my early afternoon shoud […]
Heat low continues to develop. Today we should have higher temperatures than yesterday with a potential of climbs to over 5000m. However, some cirrus may calm the conditions a little. Winds from W, generally light with convergence. Once again a latish start, briefing around 11.15. I will not be flying with a tracker today as […]
Hight pressure at surface level but with developing heat low over centrakl and S Spain. Light winds starting NE but going W. Convdergence very likely. Blue thermals to around 3300m with potential Cu at 3800m in the hot spots and potential to buid congestus at end of day if Cu form. Good chance for Segovia […]
A ridge of high pressure in gthe upper leves. Nice summer style weather for then next few days, though the formation of inversions will reduce thermal heights. Today perhaps not hot enough to make a really good day. Winds likely to be N to boundry layer, contrary to forecast in XC skies and NOA. We […]
The Cold front now having passed leaves us with a very interesting XC day. Winds in the West, though perhaps too North for really long flights beyond Avila. Good blue thermals of around 3-5m/s and convergence. Report @21:30: XC to Avila Well, the N came in a little so we stopped at Avila. Ken and […]
The depression of the SW of Ireland is moving NE and the asssociate cold front passed us in the early hours of this morning. High pressure is moving in and the current SW wind should moderte and move more the the N providing good paragliding conditions normally associated with this time of year – rather […]
