15 pm. Today's tail wind, 6 to 9 knots, forced us to grid the glider's real, real tight so as to maximize the TORA (Take Off Run Avaiable)

12 am. Today we have wind from South/West. Only in South East of the task’s area there will be good thermal activity with cumulus above 4.000 m. Good SW winds North of the task’s area; weak winds from SW with Adriatic sea breezes in the SE area. Probably wave of SW wind. Thermal activity will probabily decrease at 5 pm LT in the center area, at 6 pm LT over the North area. Forecast Error Factor: today fire smoke could decrease solar radiation on some areas: meteo model can not forecast this scenario. QNH is 1014 with 35 degrees and 30% of humidity.

New tow procedure and new release area for the forcested difficulties to catch thermal before the start. There is a quite strong south wind so pilots are pushing all the gliders back to the end of the grid.
