Now we have to wait and see

We had a lovely day today with warm(ish) sunshine and a bit of wind to help dry out the wet ground. However, when I dropped into Galinat just after lunch it was wetter than the last time and very squelchy underfoot after the recent rain, so still unflyable.

I checked the jetstream forecast on the web site where I took the image from yesterday and it’s anticipated that it has more or less reached its southernmost limit and is now going to be heading back north again. The forecast is for it to be back ‘where it should be’ by about 6 March so it’ll be interesting to see if our weather gets back to some kind of normality by then. It certainly appears that although we can probably expect a few showers in the early part of the coming week, by its end we could well be seeing sunny days with temperatures as high as 19 degrees Celsius. If so, that should mean that we’ll soon be back up in the air. Hope so 😉
