FAI SGP XI Qualifying Round Australia

Gawler, Australia,   January 2, 2023 – January 8, 2023

Race Day 1, 2nd January CANCELLED

WEATHER

Today is a post trough day. The forecast is for weak thermals locally up to 2,000ft. The local wind is forecast to be light southwesterly, but stronger to the south and west.

The main issue is that the upper air is still too warm. The temperature would need to reach 34C break through the inversion. The maximum temperature is forecast to be 31C.
 
Tomorrow the upper air will have cooled and a have a small task should be set. The soaring conditions should gradually improve each day as the temperature increases through the week.
