Default Low Cloud delays at LHR

A frustrating ceiling of cloud at 200ft caused quite a bit of delay
yesterday with BA having to cancel a number of flights.

Jon - normally at Heathrow there are around 650 arrivals/day. I think this
goes down to around 100-150 on Xmas day.

Incidentally, weve asked someone from the Met Office to a teleconference
tomorrow on the Christmas weather !! Are you on ?

Phil

Thanks, Phil, so a relatively quiet day then. Quite a few of the (mainly
smaller) airfields are closed so we'll be down to a handful of TAFs/Warnings
but the Sig. Wx boys and girls (both high and low level) will be unchanged
workload wise.

Sadly not, the best staff have been reserved for the Christmas period ;-))
You'll have to let us all know what they say :-)

Jon.

I'm sure there is some (Santa) Clause that prevents me from saying...
