Sunday, June 14

Machine translation Read Antoine's original, in French →

On the edge of the high pressure

On Sunday, we will be on the eastern edge of a high pressure positioned over Brittany. The day will be sunny with bands of cirrus. A few cumulus in the afternoon. They should stay small.

Wind

That's the problem! It will be moderate and from the West to Northwest sector. (When Météo Suisse says moderate, it means you can have gusts up to 50 km/h in the mountains. Really... We're talking 20 to 40 km/h for the layer at 2000-3000 metres and more in exposed spots.

Thermals

Too much wind for thermal flying (that's just my opinion)

Clothing

At Crêt-du-Midi between 10 and 12°C At Chalais between 20 and 29°C 0°C isotherm at 3500 metres

Dangers

The danger will be this meteo wind combined with the thermal breeze. Crêt-du-Midi remains sensitive with this wind orientation. (Something to keep watching)

Info

- TMA Sion inactive, but be careful because that doesn't mean there are no planes. - The Vercorin - Crêt-du-Midi cable car is open on the weekend
