Redbull XAlps weather forecast for the leaders 15 June - TP 2 at 16.00h

 

The first XAlps leg has started, I will try to support with weather forecasts for this exciting competition, supporting the best pilot strategies!

Summary

Today the day in the Alps will start working at 10.30.

high clouds are expected with an initial Cloudbase of 3.500m that will increase lated in the day at specific areas. Cloud tops will reach 4.500m but some Cb clouds are expected to evolve later in the afternoon. 

The temperature range will be less than 8 C meaning that there wil be a stable mass below the 1600m inversion while above that hight the conditions will be better with peak thermals to 4,6m/.s and an average climb expected 2,6m.s

High winds will be North <10kph but lower winds <1600m inversion will be from the South <10kph. 

Conditions will start to decline after 14.00 but will give a window of 5h for nice thermals and an XC speed of 33 kph is expected in the area. 

My calculator also predicts an 160km XC potential for today, so stay tuned.

Now in Milan and travelling to Greece I have not so much time for more details, but stay tuned as by tommorrow I will be close to the top pilots of Red Bull XAlps 2025!
