Friday 23rd to Saturday 24th January 2026.

Friday 23rd.   Another non-flying day as storm Ingrid remained almost stationary just to the SW of the UK, bringing another day of moderate/moderate to fresh ESE/E'ly winds to site, with low cloud and 10.6 mm of rain over the day as its associated fronts tracked N. 

Saturday 24th.  Storm Ingrid's fronts had moved off N'wards leaving a dry, but essentially cloudy day with a few bright/sunny intervals, the wind remaining a moderate ESE/E'ly. The cloud however, was extensive and low enough to preclude any flying.
