Well I am trying to decide if to fly up to Prestwick from the Midlands today. Forecast is :
EGPK 270553Z 270716 14009KT 9999 FEW025 SCT045 TEMPO 0716 BKN045 BECMG 1215 09018G30KT
And, if I return later is it going to be worse back at base?
EGNX 270606Z 270716 11008KT 4000 BR FEW030 PROB30 TEMPO 0708 0500 FG BKN002 BECMG 0811 9999 BECMG 1013 11018G28KT TEMPO 1416 8000 -RA
That would appear to be within my personal limits but I, like others expected the forecast to be worse.
I will have to wait for the 1019 TAF's and then decide.
