Babadağ Live Wind, Ölüdeniz
Live readings from the stations at the takeoff sites and the landing area, with the last five hours. Updated every five minutes.
Last updated 2026-09-01Live readings from the weather stations at the Babadağ takeoff sites and at the Ölüdeniz landing area. For each station you get the current wind speed, gust and direction, along with the last five hours. The data refreshes every five minutes.
These values describe the point where the station stands; the wind is not the same everywhere on the site. Do not decide to launch because this page shows green. What counts is the windsock you can see, the flow you can feel and how the wing behaves.

How to read the chart
| Element | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Dark line | Average wind speed, in kilometres per hour |
| Shaded area and thin line | Gusts. The further they sit from the average, the rougher the air. |
| Red dashed line | The takeoff limit: 25 km/h, that is 7 m/s. If the lines cross it, that site is closed. |
| Arrows underneath | Where the wind is coming from. If they rotate over time, the air is unsettled. |
The two pieces of information on this page are independent. Official site status is the binding assessment made by the Slot Service Centre for that day and time window. Station readings are the raw output of the instrument at that moment. When a red flag is up, no takeoff is made even if the reading looks low.
Colour codes
| Below limit | Readings below 18 km/h |
|---|---|
| Near limit | Between 18 and 25 km/h. Check the trend on the chart. |
| Above limit | Over 25 km/h. No takeoff. |
Reading the trend
The value of this page is not the current number, it is the shape of the last five hours. The wind here follows a regular daily curve: weak in the morning, rising as the sea breeze establishes, easing in the late afternoon. When you look at the chart, watch for these:
- A rising curve. If the line has climbed steadily for the last hour or two, the sea breeze is building. Being below the limit now does not mean you will still be below it by the time you are ready to launch.
- A widening gap. If the distance between gust and average is growing, the air is becoming rough. Even with a low average, that makes takeoff harder.
- Rotating arrows. If the direction arrows point different ways within a short time, no flow has established itself. That can mean a crosswind surprise on launch.
- Differences between sites. The takeoff stations face different directions. One can be at the limit while another is fine. For which site works in which direction see takeoff sites.
- Check the landing separately. The wind up there and the wind down here do not have to match. Look at the landing area station before you start your approach.

Readings come from stations operated by Babadağ Teleferik and published publicly through Ambient Weather. Values are converted from miles per hour to kilometres per hour. The takeoff limit of 7 m/s corresponds to 25 km/h. If a station is offline or its data is delayed, the page shows the last known reading.
