Soaring weather near Berlin

The US team comments on the weather at the 2008 World Gliding Championship

Overall:

We wound up with eight competition days – a somewhat disappointing total by the standards of recent WGCs. The east winds and excellent weather of the practice period were gone by the start of competition, and we have struggled with a series of low-pressure systems generally passing north of Germany. Though many would have liked to do a bit more flying, no one believes that the competition here was anything other than a fair test of soaring skills.

The weather forecasts during the Championship: http://www.wgc2008.org/WEATHER.388.0.html?&L=1

The competition was scheduled for thirteen competition flying days.
