Current Weather

Mercury Holfuy – our very own weather station on Mercury
LOCAL WEATHER STATION – this is the weather station located at Clanfield just south of Butser. You can look at ‘actuals’ and a fantastic ‘history’ that shows trends.

Weather Forecasts for paragliding

XC Weather – The first quick check to see if the weather is good enough to investigate further.RASP UK – The best website for pilots, wind and thermal predictions.

Synoptic Charts – Pressure charts showing the position of highs and lows. You can make your own weather predictions from these, see a quick guide from Rob Chisolm here.

Weatheronline – Excellent website for checking different weather models against each other. If they don’t at least sort of agree, the weathermen are just guessing!

Windy – nice visualisation of several wind models
