“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.” This rings especially true for skydivers. At Skyhigh India, situated in Narnaul, Haryana, just 125 kilometres from Delhi, we prepare you to skydive in various climates, solidifying our reputation as the best skydiving place in India.
Hot Weather Skydiving
Skydiving in hot conditions requires special considerations to ensure comfort and safety:
Hydration: Staying hydrated is crucial. Drink plenty of water before and after your jump to avoid dehydration.
Light Clothing: Wear lightweight, breathable fabrics to stay cool. Avoid dark colours that absorb heat.
Sun Protection: Apply sunscreen to exposed skin and wear sunglasses with UV protection to shield your eyes from the sun’s glare.
Cold Weather Skydiving
Cold weather poses different challenges. Here’s how to stay warm and safe:
Layering: Dress in layers to trap body heat. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add an insulating layer, and finish with a windproof outer layer.
Gloves and Headgear: Protect your extremities with insulated gloves and a warm hat or balaclava. Cold fingers and ears can quickly become uncomfortable and distract you from your jump.
Warm-Up Exercises: Perform light exercises before your jump to increase blood circulation and warm up your muscles.
Humid Weather Skydiving
Humidity can make the air feel heavier and more oppressive. Adapt with these tips:
Moisture-Wicking Fabrics: Wear clothing that pulls moisture away from your skin to stay dry and comfortable.
Anti-Fog Gear: High humidity can cause goggles to fog up. Use anti-fog sprays or wipes to ensure clear visibility.
Cooling Towels: Use a cooling towel around your neck to help regulate your body temperature.
General Tips for All Climates
Monitor Weather Conditions: Always check the weather forecast and stay informed about any changes. Skyhigh India keeps you updated on weather conditions to ensure safe jumping.
Adapt Your Technique: Different climates can affect how you manoeuvre during freefall and canopy piloting. Practice adjusting your techniques based on the weather.
Stay Calm and Focused: Adapting to varying climates can be challenging, but staying calm and focused will help you handle any situation.
