Whats the weather like there?
« on: August 26, 2021, 05:48:48 PM »
Hi Thought this was interesting as control line fliers are normally interested in the weather especially before the weekend or a big contest.
Extreme global weather for Friday Aug 27:



Philip Duncan's WeatherWatch in New Zealand normally produces a daily weather video for us here in NZ but his global weather video may interest others and runs some interesting graphics

Regards Gerald

South eastern Ontario Canada, just got in from doing some test flights on my latest, I lasted 3 flights...lol It's 90F 32C here with 70% humidity so it feels like 104F 40C.  ~^ n~ :o

It's broken clouds, some sun, about 60 deg. F with 20% chance of showers this evening. Humidity about 80%, I think it said on the TV. I'm comfy, but got a bit sweaty working outside most of the late morning/early afternoon. I lived, tho.  H^^ Steve

Best weather info for the lower 48 is Aviation Weather.

 http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code.cgi?Submit=Go&sta=KHSV&state=AL

Gives 3-4 day's worth temp and wind speed & direction on an hour to hour bases.  The above link is for Huntsville but you can change it to your local forecast.   H^^
