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

5 February 2025

Good morning all you super cool Wild2fly people! :)) And another epic day for flying on the GR! Every site worked for a at least a little bit yesterday with the emphases on Sedge and PR. Some good instability at Sedge with nice climbs to base around 500m. Flight of the day undoubtedly goes to Tom Watkeys for flying from Serps to Sedge and then to Gerrickes before his bladder couldn’t stand it any longer. ;) lol. Good one Tom! :)) Well, today we have a CF doing the rounds, loads of CB's in the interior - plenty moisture flowing in from the north over SA and two Tropical cyclones int he Indian ocean (Vince and Taliah). So, plenty of weather action to keep you entertained! Back home a pretty hefty SAH is giving us a general SW flow for today. Though the CF passed by during the night there is a secondary front with a band of rain moving in from the SW around midday. This will produce a marked increase in the wind strength and will curb any flying for the day form the looks of it. So, the best chance will be during the course of the morning. There is some drizzle on the top of Wilderness and the flats to the mountains but I see the ocean side is more clear so there is a chance of some flying. The winds start off with a more W to NW direction but will gradually back to the SW during the morning - we are expecting around 10-15knts. And then that increase just before the rain gets here around midday. (See the Sedge and Wilderness snap shots below for a great overview of the days expected weather.) :) So, Hotel, CP and PR would be the spots - the bowl for the M pilots will probably be the place. Watch that rain though. ;) Oh, and there could also be a drop in the wind strength before the stronger pulse moves in with the associated mixing taking place so keep tabs of things while up there. High this morning at 8:30 and low at 15:00 - so not the best time period for us. ;) Tomorrow a SE day form the looks of things. Enjoy, be vigilant up there and remember to take a moment to reflect on God - that’s what life is really all about. :)) (Isaiah 7:14, Micah 5:2, John 3:16, Rom 12:9-21, Gal 5:13-26)
