Winter (November to February)
Temperature: 10º C-26º C
The sun shines all day long and one can have the pleasure of flying in just tee shirts and easily touch cloud base in the middle of the day when conditions are strong. Pleasant afternoons with good Cumulus build up make enjoyable flying days.
Our flying season runs from November until the following June, eight months of sunshine and great flying weather. In winter the east wind blows consistently and the Tower Hill site rules. As winter comes to a close, the west wind begins to push inland by late afternoon and it is often possible to fly the east face of this site in the morning and the west face by the evening. The east west struggle hots up by the middle of February resulting in a short period of indecision. By March the transition is complete and the wind direction switches to blow west all day long making the Shelar site reign supreme until mid June when the monsoon winds blow in the rain clouds suspending flying for the next four months.
