- Depending on workload, will try to do outlook and soaring foreacast for most XC-able days
THIS IS A TEMPORARY FORMAT FOR NOW
Low pressure moving off to the SE and for mid-week a ridge of high pressure builds from the SW to Scandanavia.

Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mon: | NE / 28 | 12 | Slow moving occluded front in the Channel. Very cloudy and raining on-and-off all day. [Might not be flyable, no soaring or XC] |
| Tue: | NE / 22 | 15 | Low pressure and fronts moving away from the SE and pressure builds. The ground will be fairly wet. Soarable on-and-off most of the day, but with too much cloud. In the morning rather a lot of lingering cumulus base 2500-3000ft under some medium cover at 8-10,000ft (thick at times). In the afternoon 6-8/8s CuSc 3000/6000ft, though this might break into more broken cumulus base 3500ft+ by the end of the afternoon. The Southdowns might be usable, though the wind is not idea - AM 040/30kts aloft and 040/18kts on the ridge, PM 030/22kts aloft and 045/12-14kts on the ridge. To the NW the ridge of high pressure is building and there are better soaring conditions. Not sure if we can limp out that way but north and west of about Membury it should be more useable. Away from the duff SE, around the Cotswolds and north and west of there there will be good conditions with bases 4500-5000ft+ (a 500km+ day for those with access to the good stuff?) |
| Wed: | NNE / 11 | 18 | A nice ridge of high pressure over much of England with a warm front lying West Wales to N England. Shallow cumulus base 3000ft by about 11am. Then shallow or good cumulus with bases rising to 4000-4500ft+. Best area bounded by something like IOW-Dorset-S.Wales-Doncaster. Should be good for 400-600km. |
| Thu: | NW / 4 | 21 | The ridge holding on in Central England. It may be blue in the morning (esp. in the SE), but we should be able to get to cumulus by midday. Then shallow/good cumulus base 4000-4500ft+ in an area bounded by something like Hants-Dorset-Birmingham-Bedford. Good for 300-500km+ in that area. |
Every couple of days
