Supposed to having our 5th attempt at going up in a balloon this
evening in Essex, I recon it's in the balance whether it goes or not, the weatherling (telephone) updates at 2pm. Fingers crossed as the weather seems to be going down hill after Saturday. Anyone in the know got any idea for later today in the Essex area, wind/precipitation etc ? Gosh, I don't want to have to go to Freeport again!

Keith (Southend) http:www.southendweather.net 'Weather Home & Abroad' HIgh Keith, Took us 8 times.........but when we finally got to it, it was a morning with some cumulus building and we had a fantastic time! It is also the only time that I have seen a glory of myself! (seen glories from an aircraft before, but now one of my own reflection). You'll love it. I hope the weather is kind, but I have my doubts as to whether you will go up this evening - the wind speeds look a bit high. You never know though, wind speeds can really die as the evening approaches. Good luck! http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...cast_wind.html Paul |
