Situation We are still under the influence of high pressure but a low slowly approaching from the West whichy thursday will complicate the flying a lot. Light SW winds today at most levels, though should come onto our launch at PN. High base at around 12.000ft and supposedly blue thermals, though I would suspect […]
Ridge of high pressure giving us further good flying weather with an inversion around the 3100m level. Light NE, with a tendency to move more SE towards the end of the day. This maybe a day to venture out to the NW flatlands to avoid Barco and the Cherry tree valley pass. What Happened Another […]
Situation The Azores high and lighter winds today with possible climbs to near 3000m. Barco or the Cherry Tree Valley! Looks like a later start nearer 2pm will be in our favour. What Happened Very good strong thermal conditions with hardly any wind drift from around 1.30pm. The Swedes in Barco and Hans a little […]
The Azores anticyclone is keeping most of the frontal systems far to our north. Today there seems to be more NE wind and inversions not far above take off. This may give us some quite strong winds by mid afternoon. Not much more than a flight to Barco can be expected. What Happened Perhaps […]
Situation Still influenced by high pressure with fronts well to the N of the Peninsula. Nice flying weather once again and quite similar to yesterday, though a little warmer with the promise of going above the inversion around 2600m. Once again we could go either way, but should perhaps wait for conditions to be a […]
A slighly cooler day and themals probably not going above 2600m. Light N winds, which will allow us to go either E or W (or both). What Happened Pretty light conditions put most down by La Aldehuela, though Tomas marked a thermal there for me to escape and get to my lunch in Barco. Seb […]
The frontal systems are keeping to the North and our area continues under relative stability giving us good flying conditions today. an inversion around 3100m but good thermal quality starting around 1-30 pm. Light winds and Avila as a real prospect for XC What Happened Great climbs to 3000m and a light NW. Three […]
Another day with a slow start but conditions getting good later in the afternoon, although we may start getting cirrus which will calm things down too much. A goal at Avila is reasonable, going further maybe possible, but weakening conditions and the NW may impede it. What Happened Once again , great conditions and good […]
Hight Pressure scenario with once again quite a late start. We could do an early flight before the XC attempt again if we want. The light winds will likely be W in our valley and a gentle E in the Avila Valley, though we should have less problems at the Pass and beyond to today. […]
Situation More stability than yesterday and generally blue thermals in the flats. Probably quite weak, with inversions around 2300 to 2600m. It will probably be a bit of a struggle early on. Early winds from the NE, but as conditions allow us to get higher we will find more NW in altitude. Not […]
