3 Day Soaring Forecast

Below are Graphical Data Forecasts centred on Pocklington Airfield (home of the Wolds Gliding Club) showing Thermal Strength, Thermal Height, Cloudbase, etc. for the next 3 days. These are followed by graphical data for Windspeed (BL and SFC) and Wind Direction. The graphs show the day from 0700-1900, so you can see how thermal strength, cloudbase, etc. varies throughout the day.

Below each Graphical Data Forecast is a RASP generated thermal updraft chart, plus an experimental cross-country soaring "Star Rating" (0=Poor, 5=Excellent).. Both charts are for the UK at 1300GMT on the same day.
