Regional weather characteristics

[Biggles]

Related to a round the country tour, I though this qualified as a whole new topic

When is the best flying in your area?

I also want travel to fairer climes when the wind is pumping through Cape Town. Are there any windless havens close to Cape Town?

And a guide could serve people who trailer their trike on holiday with them.

Excellent idea! Perhaps also add whether hire-and-fly is possible in the area for wing-less folks like me. (Cape Town weather really s*cks these days, especially for the weekend-flier.)

OK will get the ball rolling with Cape Town... Capies if you dissagree PM me and I wil amend. Miss lots of months so only vaguely aware.

You can see average wind conditions (by month) for most areas in SA in Jan & Elzabe Coetzee's Microlight Airfields in South Africa.
