Default Forecasting is easy.

Easy guide for the S.E. Just look at the charts and then if they show :-

1. 50 mph Easterly
2. or Greenland High
3. or Atlantic fronts and westerlies
4. or An Azores High
5. or Atlantic Blocking
6. or Scandinavian High


.............. then the weather will be ........ Stratus.
:-( :-(

Sorry. How did Heathrow cope in the smog era Jon?


I wouldn't have thought that smog would often have been a serious
problem at Heathrow. It must be something like 15 miles from central
London.

Smog is one thing, John, but what about common or garden fogs? They seem
quite rare nowadays, at least compared with when I used to cycle to school
in North Kent about 50 years ago.

But with about one aircraft movement per hour (or whatever) at Heathrow in
those days, there would not have been much disruption - just whip the
passengers off to the Savoy overnight and keep them happy.

From my memories of a school trip to Heathrow at least fifty years ago, the
aircraft movements were nearer to one-a-minute than hourly.

Not much different from today then! But of course the planes were generally
rather smaller in those days.

Smaller, but some things weren't too different. One aircraft in particular
that I remember seeing there was the Boeing Stratocruiser. This was a
double-decker with seating for up to a hundred with the lower deck
consisting of a bar and lounge, connected to the upper deck via a spiral
staircase.
