Weather 1st and 2nd August

Looks like a flying day on Saturday for PG and HG.
Not super high, maybe 1500m base, 1.5 m/s climbs, winds westerly all day, increasing to 20kmh thru afternoon. Blue sky.

Sunday. Maybe, maybe not. Some models showing a better day than Saturday, others hinting that it'll be an easterly flow from mid morning onwards. Higher base 1700m, lighter wind, some high cloud slowing climbs down. Maybe a "check forecast again on Saturday to see what the updated wind forecast says" sort of day.

Be prepared to be accommodating on launch with other free flyers. Work efficiently to get off the hill, and not block up launch areas or runways. If there are PGs and HGs, please take the time to get an alternating launch sequence up and running. Remember that everyone is there to have fun, not argue about which type of free flight you currently prefer.

Thanks.

Weather 18 and 19 July

Brief weekend weather. Not super promising.

Saturday maybe, but will not be straight so tricky to get off, and light winds so not soarable, you'll need to find a thermal to stay up. Probable high cloud will slow thermal activity, tops at 1400m.

Sunday, blown out for PGs.

Flying forecast for the weekend 11 and 12 July.

Just no.

Go fix the leaky bits on your house in preparation for Monday and Tuesday.

See you the week after.
