Program

11:00 Briefing at the lunch room La Ruinettes

I hope we can start at 12 h. The way I see it now, we can fly until 16h, TCU with showers will be in the high relief south and only early evening at Verbier.

METEO

Switzerland continues to be caught in a weak south-westerly high-altitude current, which brings warm, humid subtropical air to us. The tendency for thunderstorms will remain high in the mountains and temporarily decrease in the lowlands. (MétéoSuisse)

Flat pressure distribution, Pressure : 1013

A slightly less unstable layer up to 2000 m could delay the development of thermals a little. Afterwards development of moderate thermals, 1-3/8 with base at 3400, above high relief 4000 and higher (our lim it is 3950 - take care!). From mid-afternoon, spreading Cu with shadows followed by rain showers and possible thunderstorms.

Normal valley winds
2000 m weak winds, in the valleys from north, 10 kmh
2500 m weak winds, in the valleys from north, 10 kmh
3000 m 10 kmh SW, but in our area even weaker
3500 m weak as well, but from Gr San Bernard the SW is pushing with about 15 kmh (affects exactly Verbier)
4000 m 15 kmh WSW, from Gr San Bernard the SW is pushing with about 20 kmh (affects exactly Verbier)
