Any one know why MON7509 was diverted from Leeds to Manchester tonight (Wednesday). The plane approached Leeds then diverted.

Weather tonight at Leeds showing very low cloud, may be the reason

Everything else apart from the MON7509 operated by A320, G-ZBAB has got into Leeds this evening. The Met vis is greater than 1,500 meters but there is low cloud base mist/lite rain. Guess the fact that runway 14 is in use (CAT1 only) is not helping along with it been wet. You only have to remember what happened to L1011, G-BBAI....

Thanks for the information all. A case of "Be safe and be happy". I just hope the SLF appreciated the reasons.
