I don't know what the fuss was all about this time. Yes it was wet and windy but as someone said on the TV, it was a two peg washing day 

Sun now shining brightly, it's cold though.

Only 2 pegs!  Heck my washing would  be in the north sea most days with only 2 pegs.

It's no stormier than normal for the time of year. As for BA cancelling 10% of flights out of Heathrow, what was that all about?

Just had another shower blow through.

Severe cross winds at Heathrow.

Thanks Ellie. Though don't remember them cancelling flights previously for strong winds.

Think it's more the direction of the wind, plus the strength......my pilot son was explaining it to me .

There was a Heathrow spokesperson on Radio 4 this morning explaining that due to the direction and expected strength of the winds planes would take longer to travel down the runway and lift off meaning the flights behind would then be delayed in a knock-on effect. It made sense to take out some of the flights to leave the ones still flying taking off on time. I think that's what he said..

Glasgow airport was running ok.
 
Lots of ferries off though. Our local ferry was cancelled, I really didn't  know why although I bet the island kids were not complaining.....they couldn't get over to go to school.

Aberdeen seemed to be OK, even a few helicopters.

Holyhead to Dublin ferry was cancelled yesterday.

We were spared. Out in the country had it really bad.
