As you can see, weather in europe isnt looking great but for avgeeks like us, its brilliant! I and most of us can agree that landing in low visibility is awesome! Manchester has a visibility of only 200m which is very low so if you are planning to fly to Manchester or any other airports marked in purple, expect ILS approach!
Saw it last night already, while Landing in Jersey. Insane fog. And the fun thing is, when I look out of my window here in Belgium, it is indeed those exact weather conditions!
Me too! That screenshot was a replay of my flight from London EGLL - Jersey! I did a go around because I was doing a late landing and have missed the touchdown zone. I did a holding pattern and attempted another landing which was successful but if it wasnt then i would have diverted back to Heathrow, it was tense!
There are plenty of apps and websites - the easiest way is to simply search “XXXX METAR” (e.g EGLL METAR) in a browser and just click on one of the top results - it will tell you the current weather and give a forecast for the next few hours.
Just by coincidence I did a flight (IF) out of Brussels yesterday, not looking for challenging weather as a reason for the flight. Taxi thru takeoff and ascent were very interesting low visibility conditions. Taxi lines and map reliance made it that much more immersive. Later this topic appeared. It’s cool to see real reports of weather like yours following what one encounters first on an IF flight for other reasons.
Yeah, it’s always nice to see IF change with how the world changes irl. If you use the wind aloft feauture and use surface level winds, you can easily see the cyclones and hurricanes in the server that correspond to real life.
