Weather and Wind for Paragliding in Morocco: Forecast and Live Map

Before flying, the key question is always the same: what will the wind be like? In paragliding the weather is not a detail, it is what decides whether you fly or not.

On the club website you can check the forecast for each flying zone and a map with all the take-offs. We explain how to use them and what their limits are.

What the website offers

You get the forecast for wind, gusts, temperature and rain for each zone, plus a map with the take-offs and a comparison table to see several zones at once. Everything is shown for the coming days.

The flight traffic light

Each day is summarised with a colour that indicates, as a guide, whether conditions look favourable, doubtful or not recommended for flying. It is an aid for planning, not a flying decision.

How to use the map

On the map you can see each take-off, open its page and check the forecast for the week. You can switch between map, satellite and rain radar to better understand the context.

Limits of the forecast

The data come from weather models. They are not a measurement at the take-off and do not capture everything that happens on a specific terrain: local breezes, turbulence or rapid changes may not appear.

That is why the final decision is always made at take-off, by the pilot and the club, looking at the real conditions.

Tips for planning

Check the forecast several days ahead to get an idea, look again the day before and confirm with the club on the morning of the flight. If the weather does not cooperate, keep a spare day in your trip.

How to read wind and gusts

Two key figures are the average wind speed and the gusts. If the difference between them is large, the air is usually more turbulent and less pleasant to fly in. The wind direction also matters, because each take-off faces a particular way.

This information is indicative: the pilot decides at take-off.

When to check the forecast

A look several days ahead gives a general idea. The day before, the forecast is more reliable, and on the morning of the flight it is best to confirm it with the club.

If conditions change, be patient: postpone the flight without pressure and look for another day.

Conclusion: The forecast helps you plan, but the flight is decided at take-off. Use it as a guide and always confirm with the club.
