It's not raining - updated

We have been here long enough now to know that if it isn't raining you rig and take a launch and see what happens, regardless of the forecast.

So we are rigged and ready to go.

At the moment we have 8/8th Alto Cu overhead. We are hoping it will clear, and allow the sun to heat the ground. It is clearing to the North East but still looks pretty solid over the airfield.
The forecast maximum is 23C.

Pete's just taken a launch at 12.30pm.
It doesn't look too promising, but it is forecast to start raining again tomorrow, and sunshine isn't mentioned anywhere in the forecast again until Tuesday,
Hopefully that's wrong, but today it isn't raining and he's flying.
