Tutu, yesterday night, a little bit of black in us would do good.---------------
No flying today. We could have, yes. But too late for guests who live an hour away.
And Graham who arrived, is chilling. He is here for more than a week, and no stress.
Strong winds during the day, so some of us were kite-surfing. Oh yes.
Just read a message on our local forum that cloudbase is supposedly gonna be 2000 m high this saturday. Well not high maybe in the Alps this is, but reasonable enough to go XC down here.
Lets look at the prevision,
air temp easily 26 degrees
relative humidity this time of the year is around 50 procent,
and especially close to the med, like our famous site Palomaret could be even more,
Then we would have dewpoint at minimum 10 degrees.
With these figures we get to a cloudbase at 2000 meters indeed.
But ! We need to have southern winds for that to fly it.
So my option would be, go inland and fly at a western site like Sierra del Carche. Or go chase the conversion at Reconco, with some luck you'll find indeed a cloudbase at 2000 m like last week.
Anyway, lets hope I can chase the local pilots out of their comfort zone, or nothing is gonna happen again this saturday.
I think lots of meteo knowledge is based nowadays looking at pre-chewed programmes like XCSkies etc... . Very allright. But we are not gliders, we cannot be airtowed to 1500 m and do our thing. We are footlaunching aircrafts,m and we should not forget the basics.
Love you all
