The wind on the ground will be from S . The wind on the top launches will be from S at 7kph gusting to 18kph In a N () Ridge soaring will be ... probably not a good idea. The chance of it being magic is 75%.

Guide

This is aimed primarily at the club level pilot who wants to know what to expect for the next week.

Data is calculated from the GFS model data using the RASP calculations daily.

Wind strengths are graded for aircraft suitability.

Wind speeds are average wind speeds, gusts will be higher.

Conditions are graded for how the average pilot will feel about them.
