An approaching cold front and a general increasing of the winds. We still have the westerly flow but around 25km/hr at take off level and perhaps in excess of 40 km near 3000m. Similarly to yesterday there is an inversion at 2600m which will slow conditions untill later in the afternoon. With top temperatures of […]

Weather Briefing. High pressure is increasing, though a […]
Much better prospects for today. Light winds at surface and take off level, later increasing to around 15km/hr and upto 40 at thermal tops. Nil wind at take off at 8.30am (yesterday strongish from S then quickly changing to Strong WNW). Good Open Distance day for flights beyond Avila. 6 over Pass today, with James, […]
Relative Low pressure with a upper level trough moving in Wednesday. Winds at 8.30am are S at take off. Winds in SW and good themal quality will give convergence out in the flat lands and should give us a good potential XC day. Wind speed is on the strong side with around 20km/hr at take […]
The approach of a cold front associated with the depression over the UK will increase the westerly flow and instability. Potentially an excellent Open XC day for the brave, with mainy blue thermals to above 3000m and with winds at 50km/hr at this level. Windsock showing a fair bit of wind from early on and […]
The UK continues with the depression maintaining a westerly flow over the Iberian Peninsula. Early morning Cu and wind cross on at Peña Negra. later blue thermals to around 3000m with a 15km/hr flow from the W at around t.o altitude. around 20km/hr at top of lift. South of west flow so convergence very likely […]
The depression continues to move very slowly across the UK. W flow in altitude contines here as it has done for some time now. Early morning Stratocumulus which should break down by midday with mainly blue thermals later in the afternoon. Bear in mind tha this extra cloud cover during the morning will give us […]
I guess we did not really do justice to yesterdays conditions – maybe I oversold, or perhaps the shadowing redued the potential. Today we start with 8/8 cover of statocumulus which since around 8.30am has been cycliclly breaking down then reforming near the hill. This is unlikely to lift and clear full untill after mid […]
Overview Todays weather is wholly charecteristic of a typical 200km+ day. Heat low forming and previous to arrival of a weak front tomorrow. Winds are SW, reasonably strong at the top of the convection (20km/hr), and light enough low down for safe take off and landing (15km/hr). Cloud base potemntial to 4000m, though 3200-3600m more […]
High pressure at surface level with with forecast temperature to 26ºC in Piedrahita. The approach of a warm front which will only skim the N of the Peninsula will give us a thickening of Cirrus towards late afternoon. Good quality thermals to 3100m and winds light westerly. If they keep SW at altitude and […]
