Paragliding World Cup India Weather Forecast - 19 Feb 2026

 

Summary

Barometer drops slightly and SW winds drop by 30% but they bring further humidity in the area.

Below the inversion of 2500m humidity is higher, and above this altitude thermals are expected to be stronger.

Good temperature range of 14,4 C lets us assume for a good contrast to the ground and thermal triggering.

Below 2500m inversion we have more humidity and weaker thermals comparing to yesterday. Above 2500m similar thermals.
