“I definitely thought that I would be slightly nervous in the air. However, it was the opposite and I felt very comfortable. I was amazed at how the glider responded to just the slightest touch of the controls. I was also very surprised how you could really feel the glider accelerating or decelerating when you either pointed the nose up or down.” Amanda 18

Also the Bureau of Meteorology has a weather radar here and the Graphical Area Forecast here
The Jetstream
Below is the chart with the animated Jetstream winds at about 36,000 feet. Overlaid is the surface pressure isolines. Comparing the two sets of data provides a valuable insight as to how the jet stream influences the surface weather. When the Jetstream bends or splits significantly, it is referred to as an “upper level disturbance” and can be the cause of significant severe weather below it. These bends in the Jetstream are caused by Roxby Waves. They are a natural result of the Coriolis Effect however these waves have become much more pronounced in recent times as a result of Climate Change. Severe weather systems at surface level can become trapped under these Roxby waves and remain stationary for long periods.
More info and charts on how the Jet Stream works can be found at the California Regional Weather Server, sponsored by the Department of Earth & Climate Sciences at San Francisco State University. The California Regional Weather Server provides more detail, including a general description of jet stream analysis and forecast maps.

It is a worthwhile exercise to read this Aerological Diagram in conjunction with viewing the cloud cover as seen in the Camden Weather Web Cams HERE
The Aerological Diagram (AKA Skew T-Log P or Thermodynamic diagram) below from Sydney Airport can give a good indication of the heights at which clouds will form. Here is a PDF explanation of how to intepret these diagrams courtesy of the Australian Bureau of Meterology.
