Yup, great here too, 95 deg. in the shade, light winds from the S SW varying to whatever direction perpendicular to the field and gusting at a moderate 25 to 35 mph, and relative humidity is at 99%. Great flying weather, if your a bug.

Geez, listen to you guys complain...

I live in Minnesota, where Summer is defined as "3 weeks of bad snowmobiling weather"!

Well, I hear you guys.

Come down here to Auckland. There is one thing I can guarantee you on the weather front - it seems to be the same all year round...

Well, today we actually had a perfect flying day. 70 to 75 degrees, partly cloudy skies, 8 to 10 mph wind right down the runway.

A bunch of us sittin' and flyin' and chattin' and razzin' each other. I got there about 3:30 and got a flight in with the field to myself. 40 minutes after I arrived others started showing up; Huddie (Mal), then John, Harvey, Roger and Tom came together. Gene then Eddie and finally Phil.

I finally left about 7:45 as the sun was sinking behind the trees, and was sorry I'd told my wife I'd be home by 8:00.

I could really handle one of these days every week!

Here in NJ it's not any better. It rained almost every day from March to June. Than 2 hott weeks which was OK for flying. Well, we are back into raining everyday. The weather forcast calls for rain through the week.

joop,
That's been our weather pattern as well. Rain virtually every day through the spring and early summer, then a wave of 90 to 95 and very humid.

Yesterday was about the ONLY day we've had that was this nice. Guess that's why I enjoyed it so much.

You guys are making me feel bad. I get upset when there is 2 days during the week where the wind is blowing around 25 MPH. It is 103 F today and virtually no wind. Great flying weather if you don't mind a little heat. This is the way it has been for about 2 months now although the temperature does drop into the low 90's most of the time.
