the passage of a cold front associated with the deep depression over the UK will make safe paragliding impossible today. Tomorrow looking OK at the moment.
A very difficult week ahead for decent paragliding as the low to the N of Spain depens and moves towards the UK but giving us persistent strong SW wins and unsettled weather. Today very little thermic activity with a strong inverstion aroun 2100m and cool temperatures (18ºC). If the wind goes west enough then we […]
With the depression in the Atlantic nearer and nearer the winds from the SW will be picking up by the end of the day and we will see more Cirruss. Perhpas less Cu today and the winds early on may be acceptable. Thermal tops at end of day around 10,000ft but an in version at […]
The depression to the West in the Atlantic is deepening and sending us upper level SW flow which will begin to come down over today and the weekend. More unstable than yesterday with upper level instability increasing over the day so we can imagine that Cbs are more likely (rather than the overgrown congestus of […]
Still a low pressure situation but pressure rising slowly and an inversion growing which should cap overdevelopement at the end of day. SW winds of 10-15km/hr and thermall tops and Cu around 10,000ft. Weak thermals at expected max of around 26ºC, though will improve at lot at 28ºC. Reasonalbe XC potential if we are flying […]
Low pressure (heat low formed over central Spain) and the passage of a cold front southwards (though mainly to the East of us) will complicate the day. Development of large cumulus clouds and possibly Cbs (though more likely to E of us). We should get reasonable soaring conditions with the possiblility of a modest XC […]
A band of nimbostratus comming in from the SW. The trace show limited posibilities of CBs, but winds a bit strong(and wet) for this morning . After it goes through we should have lighter and more N winds leaving us with a hope for flying late this afternoon. Rain at 9am , but sky clear […]
An approaching low pressure system and associated warm front is approaching from the south west which will lead to thickening upper level clouds as the day progresses. With top temperature of 29ºC we still should get potential thermal tops to 10,500ft, with Cu possibly forming in convergence areas and parts of the mountain at c11.600ft. […]
A good XC paragliding day though conditions not really getting going untill 2pm when we will get thermal tops (blue) to around 3000m. Good chance for long flight towards Segovia from PN or towards Miranda from Lastra. Choice of take off is difficult as although it is likely that the wind will come onto PN…if […]
Once again a strong inversion around 2100m, but with top temperatures higher than yesterday so slightly higher thermal heights. Should be sufficient and safe enough for a modest XC to the West towards Barco de Avila. What Happened? A nice day with Wim , Geert, Antoon, Luc, myself and Ed (PB) in Barco. Bill just […]
