Personal record for launching in high winds by myself -> 15-17 m s-1 !
Man was that an adventure, things were flying all over the place,
launch bag got blown into the barb wire while releasing balloon,
stand blew over, what fun!
winds are calming down as sun rises. very little cloud around.

--------
Large areas of blowing dust. Gusts well over 20 m s-1! Winds shifting from
NW to Westerly.
Very difficult launch. Aspiration stand blown over, sonde appeared ok
until after launch when P,t,rh stopped transmitting, winds still appear
ok, so we'll continue sounding til 400 mb.
