and here's the information on the latest briefing.

Here's the highlights...

Landing on Monday before Luxembourg is an option, and pilots could expect low winds and good conditions.

Landing on Monday evening west of Geneva would also provide good landing conditions, with light winds.

Later, as pilots fly toward southern France they can expect to meet the Mistral. Again, like yesterday’s evening briefing, that most likely means heading south out to the Mediterranean.

Discussed storm potential in Italy. In summary:

- Monday and Tuesday: Clear of storms

- Tuesday night to Wednesday: Storm potential over Italy.

In the launch field this evening pilots can expect wind and gusty conditions, but by the cloud that is there now – it is solid grey above – should have cleared.
