Thrasophius posted:Very true I never thought of it that way. drat just thinking about it that's pretty mild weather. So you have to pretty much look for the perfect sunny clear sky day for a jump then? Not at all. Personally, I don't jump on days when the air is turbulent. Steady winds are a non-issue if you're in control of your situation. Ever watch the tree tops? If they are kinda shaking around I don't jump or if I see other jumpers' canopies shaking around and flexing. Most DZs will have wind speed limits and ground everyone based on wind speed and skill level. I've seen turbulent air slam jumpers into the ground far too many times. Falling 20 feet to the ground takes the fun out of jumping. Jumping "unintentionally" through clouds is awesome. During days with a heavy and solid cloud layer, we will resort to doing "hop 'n pops" from just under the cloud base. Well, as long as we can get above minimum opening altitude.
