Last weekend, particularly Sunday, there were numerous missed or discontinued approaches due wind shear - some aircraft declared wind shear escape, some aircraft declared "just" wind shear, some aircraft declared predicted wind shear. Some aircraft held prior to making an approach, some aircraft were processed for a second or third approach, some aircraft diverted.
