Weather…. oh dear

The winds are back. I won’t be flying for a little while for obvious reasons and Rosie’s on hols anyway. But I have great sympathy for all the other microlight flyers right now.

Remember this. It’s a 5-day weather forecast that I put into a post last September. Well, we seem to be drifting into the same sort of weather cycle as we had last Autumn. Take a look at the forecast below that I’ve just obtained from the Met Office for the same area, Canterbury, where I usually fly from.

Eerily similar isn’t it. Last Autumn the winds just went on and on (and on 😕 ) for day after day – it seemed more like weeks actually. Just hope that doesn’t happen again. Microlighters need, and are due, a good Summer, especially after the last couple, so let’s hope the cycle breaks soon and we move into weather that’s a bit more summery and settled.
