Whatever the Weather
Precipitation Expected Later this Evening
Today's Satellite picture,big Low pressure in the SW
Well the weather this morning, did look glorious. However, it wasn’t to last long, the high cloud moved in with some acceleration, and the sky changed from blue to a washed out white, in no time. It was as forecast though, so fair do’s to the French Meteo, for their accurate readings. Apparently, this relatively severe ‘Low’ is destined to sweep up across from Portugal taking in a major part of Spain, then moving on up and into the South West of France, so it seems we may only be brushed by the edge, and possibly not taking the full brunt of the expected high/gale force winds. We’ll see how it materialises, it hasn’t been ruled out though, we are expecting high winds, but to a lesser degree. So it may well be a ‘batten down the hatches!’ situation for most of us.
Generally, the weather is on a bit of a downward spiral, with increasing stronger winds. For us the föehn is still dominant, increasing in strength, and sun exposure expected to diminish to around 20%, so all ’round it’s looking a bit bleak and very disturbed.

Autumn Is Upon Us
Autumn is definately here, with the treetops all turning, the temperature dipping, a regular dampness in the morning, and condensation on the windscreens. The snow has made a fleeting appearance , settling on Varan, and the surrounding mountains although then disappearing… just a minor taste of things to come. Our flying has now taken on the more serene character of gentle air and mild soaring. It is all still very enjoyable as what we don’t have in the spring and summer months in the shape of strong thermals and xc potential, we make up for in the sheer beauty of the changing landscape and the depth of colour, artists revel in. So here’s to welcoming in all the changes that mother natures offers….. We are still flying, but just scraping climb outs now.
