Good luck into the LCY..... we have had reports (on Thames) of moderate to severe turbulence on departure, and an inbound North West of Detling gave the 3000 feet wind as 254/69

We landed (my girlfriend had to go around twice trying to get into EGGD the same day) but the wind at 500ft was > 80kts!
It was an interesting month.
On 11/01/04 we had FU reported on the TAF and a waterspout showed up the Severn Estuary about a mile from my house. Wind was 28028G50 that day.
