Aioleia 2025 Weather Forecast 29 Aug

 

Summary of the Day forecast "Similar conditions, but better"

barometer, drops, humidity unchanged, and light NE winds remain above 1500m.

South breeze again, but the day will start working 30min later than yesterday at 11.30h.

As the air density drops, the inversion will be weaker and the turbulence less.

No Cu clouds expected in the area, and a strong inversion at 1250 below which it will be southeast wind, and North wind appears above 1500m at 15.00h. Some Cu expected to the west after Skopia.

The North wind will be less than yesterday reducing further turbulence.

Top of lift is not expected at 2100m above the mountains, 2400 m above the big tops and <1800 in the valley at 15.00h.

Possible Convergence lines expected above mountains and to the Paranesti areas, no visible signs.

An average XC speed of 25-30 kph is calculated,higher than yesterday, and a 3-4 h potential task may offer an opportunity for 65-85km XC in the area.
