Glidemet

The only flight on the ladder (later update—-a couple of flights now posted from England, so it was a bit soarable, at least in places). It’s safe to say that yesterday was one of my poorer forecasts, and honestly, it was probably avoidable. Lots of top cover, in the form of both dense cirrus and areas of altocumulus castellanus, turned up, and I didn’t give enough thought to that possibility so didn’t look for it. While the airmass lower down did generally behave as expected, the sun was pretty weak in most places today putting paid to useful thermals. Still, at least it’s a nice evening for a beer and a barbeque.

Tomorrow (Sunday) generally cloudy with some showers in the north and east, and most other places cloudy (if a bit cooler than today). The southwest is the only place where there might be good conditions.

After that a low pressure system stays all too close to the UK for pretty much the week, bringing cloud and occasional rain most days  .
