One of those days when the fog comes when everybody thinks it won't!

Well forecasted on the KK/SS TAFs - LL nearly!

Here on the top of the Cambridgeshire mountains (142 metres ASL), it
dawned clear, but I could see that it was foggy over the lower ground
to the north. Then the fog rose up the hill (this frequently happens)
and had effectively risen to be above our hill (as thin low cloud).
It has settled down again (1400 hrs) and looking out the window
suggests visibility about 500 metres.

Now I am sweating about an inbound flight into Stansted due later this
afternoon. 14 year old daughter is returning from a school exchange
in Lyon. Some airlines (eg my own when I flew BAe 146s) don't have
Cat 3 landing equipment (economically not worthwhile so the argument
goes). I just don't know if EasyJet can use visibilities (RVRs)
below 300 metres. I guess I'll find out later today!

I've pondered on this reply for a while.
No I can't.

From what I remember from the data I saw yesterday it looked like an area of
low stratus would advect in/develop to give fog at elevated stations but
mist/very low stratus looked more likely at Heathrow.

Notice the long TAF issued at 2230Z did have a risk of fog but it didn't
make it into the short TAFS

Ahhh, just realised that's FG for tonight and not last night. Doh.
God help us when the TAFs are valid for 30 hours :-)

Sometimes ignorance is a very good thing.
