INTRODUCTION This page provides a soaring forecast for the UK generally and the Long Mynd club area in more detail, as such it complements the weekly text based forecasts on this forum.

This page includes pressure and frontal synoptic charts for the UK for 3 days ahead, RASP HG/PG Star Rating for today and tomorrow showing forecast soaring conditions across the country. It goes on to provide links for detailed RASP Blipspot graphs for the Long Mynd 7 days ahead and for today only at other locations in the club area. Finally there are links to SkewT for NEWTOWN for today and tomorrow.

The main UK RASPTableGM site is no longer hosted by Leeds University so the data here is drawn from the RASP UK back up site on Stratus.org. The currently available full version Stratus RASPTable on Google Maps can be found here:http://rasp.stratus.org.uk/app/rasptablegm/rasptable.php

This topic is closed for new posts - if you want to comment on this, use the weekly text based forecasts topic.

UK PRESSURE CHARTS FOR NEXT 3 DAYS

UK RASP STAR RATING MAPS FOR HANG GLIDING AND PARAGLIDING FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW Dr Paul Scorer came up with an experimental rating system called stars, an experimental metric based on using data from other standard RASP parameters. The metric basically states a higher number equals better conditions. The metric used here is Starshg tailored to HG/PG. Red = 5 (Excellent) Orange=4(Very Good)Yellow=3-4(Good)Light Green =2(Reasonable)Light Blue=1-2(Fair)Dark Blue = 1(Poor).
