[Aus-soaring] Darling Downs weather for the weekend of 10 - 11 December 2011

2011-12-08 Thread Robert Hart

Hi folks

The updated forecast is available at 
http://the-white-knight-speaks.blogspot.com together with a look ahead 
at next week's weather for the Junior's at Kingaroy and Caboolture week 
at DDSC.


The weekend does not look terribly good, with rain forecast through to 
Monday.


Unfortunately, it looks like the predicted late arrival of La Nina is 
starting to happen: the SOI is moving upwards (approaching 15) and the 
sea surface temperature in the western Pacific is warming. Whilst we 
clearly are not experiencing a repeat of last year (the SOI a year ago 
was about double it's current value), a wetter than average summer 
certainly looks to be on the cards here in Queensland.


Despite that, I expect there to be good days during the summer - the 
trick will be to be at the club ready to grab hold and squeeze the best 
flight possible from the day!
