How to read it: the outlook looks first for a usable 2–4 hour period between 09:00 and 13:00. A morning rated Fair or better is preferred even if the afternoon looks slightly better. Only when the morning is Not Recommended does it fall back to a usable afternoon period. Strong wind/gusts, rough air, thunder, persistent rain or forecast fog/very poor visibility can make a period Not Recommended. Morning fog or mist warnings remain visible even when the page falls back to a clearer afternoon period. When the day has no usable period, Best time and Soaring are shown as dashes.
Longer-range days are for planning and can change appreciably; check Today’s Forecast and the detailed Soaring Forecast nearer the time. Wind/Gust shows the selected period’s average 10 m wind and maximum gust; the decision also considers forecast wind around 100 m.
