Not sure that this would meet my definition of 'crap' weather; if the headwind is straight down the runway it could be great flying conditions.
Don't stop learning...
Yeah.. I should have explained that YMMB (where I fly from) is roughly in the center of the Melbourne Basin and directly south of the city, so although the headwind might be (approximately) down the runway, the aforesaid forecast is really saying that it's turbulent up top and will be turbulent (and gusty) at ground level.
I'm not a fan of flying in Moderate turbulence although I did take a flying friend up in it anyway, because (a) it was otherwise CAVOK and (b) the best it was likely to be for a week or so and (c) it was good practice - although I draw the line at Severe turbulence..
