Yo!!
Well, as Eric said, we were in for some interesting weather. We didn't know how interesting until it hit.
Without warning. Strong winds woke us up at 0130 and Eric jumped the fence between the campsite and the rest of the field, to where our control pergola was, and pulled off the top which had caused the framework to buckle in the wind. (The framework can be restored; it's happened before.)
Then out to the glider, where we ensured it was tied down securely. We also taped up every seal we could find.
Then the rain came. Fortunately no hail! And more wind.
That set of storm cells went through, then a second set hit, with a bit more wind and rain. And even closer flashes of lightning!
This morning, briefing has been delayed until 1100 with last-gridding at 1200 possibly due to indifferent weather and also that some people might have to repair any damage that occurred during the night.
Forecast is for 36 degrees of very steamy heat but as I'm no expert on Polish weather and due to its apparent highly changeable nature I have no idea if that'll be achieved!
Oh, you can tell by the length of Eric's post that he was totally rapt by his performance yesterday!
Stand by...
