That's great for telling me what does, but not how to use it. Are you
saying to always turn downwind in the local micro wind to get to the
center of the thermal?

Maybe my CNvXC vario has this capability, maybe not. I'll have to do
some research on that. In the mean time, I've had good luck with
finding thermals at the upwind edge of cumulus clouds. That's not
always the case but true more often than not.

Comparing instantaneous wind to average wind will show you any local wind deviations as they occur near thermals. Can't find the thermal under a cloud? Just follow the diverging local wind. Need to find the best line along a cloud street or convergance? Watch the local wind. Feel that blue thermal nearby, but not sure where to turn? The wind will tell you.

Of what use is instantaneous wind? Can you react to it without
flapping control surfaces all over the place? Do you use it for
planning your next turn in a thermal?



Not knocking it, I just don't get it why it would be important.
Please enlighten me.
