There is a flying tip and an acronym index at the bottom of the report for those not understanding some of the weather jargon. ;)

15 October 2026

Good morning all you super cool Wild2fly people! :) Wow. What a beautiful day of flying yesterday - especially the late afternoon with PR and the CP going off big time. A few lucky pilots managed to grab that one. ;) Then Benny Twyman managed to snag a super cool flight from Kardoesie yesterday for a PB. Nice one Benny! :) https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:BennyTwyman/14.10.2026/10:25 No other flights around SA and then the boys in Brazil still going long but a shorter day yesterday - longest straight-line distance flight coming from Maruisz ay 270km on his Zeno2. https://www.xcontest.org/world/en/flights/detail:mrm.air/14.10.2026/10:31#fd=photos 5 flights over 200km and 43 over 100km, most of them from Bir Billing - looks like they had a good day out there. ;) Back to our SA weather. Three CF approaching the WC so this weekend looks like rain. But preceding that some strong NW winds higher up so beautiful wave formations over the WC ranges (See the graphs below) Amazing right? :) Int he interior that trough down the central parts with some CB expected late afternoon (see the rain fall map below) Som bases up at 12k and in Nam 16k. For Wilderness we are expecting a SE trend for the day but there will be enough south in it for a start at Sedge that should last pretty long. ;) Climbs to around 1000ft perhaps a bit more in a good bit. No Q's expected but some high cirrus this afternoon at times. PR late morning should be good with Gerricks, Buffs and Map offering playful goods later in the day. Maybe fly from Sedge to Gerrickes and then on to CP. :)) Sure looks like a sweet day! Lekker! Low tide is at 11:31 and high tide around 6 hrs either side of that. Sunrise was at 5:48 and setting at 18:43. Daylight of 12 hrs and 55 min! :). Max temps today a sweet 21 degrees C in Wilderness! Have a lekker one everybody and as always, remember to take a moment and reflect on God - that’s really what life is all about. :) (John 10:10. Rom 10:9. Eph 4:31-32. Phil 4:8).

Todays flying tip: Learn to fly with snacks and make them easily accessible! ;)
