Baja Bug Construction

Weather Links updated

addition to the blog lu-Glidz I look after the weather pages of DGC Siebengebirge . There I have recently again updated the Weather Links , cleared out and rearranged. Most important and hopefully most useful change is the first link box "wind and weather to date". In it I have now not only are some links to local weather stations in the Eifel area and their data combined, but also with other links to current Satbildern Radar and rain added. Meanwhile, the satellite images that can be found for example in Sat24 are as current as sharp, and thanks to a sequence with intervals of only 15 minutes so animated that you can win very many conclusions from it about the weather. The same goes for the rain radar, which provides even image sequences in 5 minute intervals. It's almost as if you were watching the front lines live. It is always worthwhile to throw before driving in snow, even a look!

An example: Just yesterday afternoon I was flying on mountain building. The wind was actually predicted from SW, which is good for this south-facing slope only marginally. However, it appears in Satbild, that of the Eifel was a low cloud swirl, where the clouds in the southern Eifel quite moved out West, on the eastern flank of the Eifel region along the Rhine valley, but more from South. So I set it on the way and was rewarded. The wind was in the right direction, however, was only a little weak, yielding only prolonged slide. Only 16 clock he took far too (even that was predicted) that I could even help with thermal elevate significantly. Unfortunately I had to cancel the flight because I had other appointments.
