Fot those that cant make out this info, the winds are at 28knots, gusting 28 knots and it is coming from 200 degrees, (runway at 230degrees). There are cumulonimbus clouds at 2500ft, and the QNH (air pressure) has gone up 10 millibars in 5 hours!!!! Thats huge!!! :o

All 14 domestic flights from 5pm to 8 pm are now departing at 8.30pm (the same time) making it fun for Air Traffic Control!! :P

Glad im not flying in a Beech 1900 tonight! lol!
