Hey guys. Look at that, sounding at 12 am today.
South-southwestern winds at surface but veering to northeast upper winds, at 850 mb which is appr 1500 m ASL.
Flying at our southern site like Palomaret would mean turbulence, once nearer to cloudbase.
It is very very interesting to know how to read these charts. It gives you more knowledge about what's going on. And more knowledge is more safety isn't it.
This chart lets yo calculate cloudbase, what kind of clouds you'd probably meeting that day etc... etc .... .
If you are interested and understand/read Spanish, you should definetely have a look at my friends' Jose Luis Segorb's page, he is our meteo-star.
If your spanish is not so great I advise this one :
My son had a bad tummy this afternoon, so I had to pamper him. Marcel, Rafa, amongst others, flew and both said it was turbulent especially at the beginning of the afternoon, then later the breeze took over and all got mellow.
