There is an acronym index at the bottom of the report for those not understanding some of the weather jargon. ;)

4 May 2025

Good morning all you amazing Wild2fly people! :)) What a sweet day at Sedge yesterday. The dreaded east winds that were predicted never materialised, so Sedge was tops! ;) Lekker! :)) Map had some soaring stuff early and later in the day but didn’t hear of anybody managed to scratch something out along the coastal cliffs (Doubtful). Well done to Paul and Darren for managing some light soaring at Map. ;) Today that IOH continuing with the strong subsidence around the central and western parts of SA. No clouds on the cards for the GR once again. Looks like very light SE winds and super stable conditions. Sedge showing zero on the spot graph, but I see a glimmer of hope form the SkewT graph. Maybe something to take us above launch around midday/lunchtime, but it is super weak - especially with the SE wind trend on the cards. I think it will probably be southerly and light scratchy stuff. Nothing at Map and Gerrickes a bit of a gamble as the inversion and wind is 5kts so borderline. For those with some spring in their steps, there is a super cool hike and fly on the cards today - up to Vensterberg. the winds are NW up there with initial 10-15kns during the morning and lunchtime period but from 15:00 it drops to 10knots all the way up to 5k. So, a smooth sunset session is def on the cards on that side. :)) (See the SkewT graph below). Start the hike around midday to be up there at 14:00 and prep to fly by 15:00. Should be a sweet one. ;) HT at 9:05 and Low tide at 15:28. Sunrise was at 7:07, setting at 17:46. Daylight time 10hrs and 39min. ;) Reminder of the Barberton paragliding champs on from June 15^th to 21^st. This is a Category 2 comp and gaining in international popularity. Here is the link for it. https://civlcomps.org/event/barberton-paragliding-open-2025  Reminder for today, dress warm guys! lol ;) Have a lekker one and as always, remember also to take a moment and reflect on God. That’s really what life is all about. (Matt 28:6. Luke 19:28-24. Rom 10:9).
