Met Office fog warnings
It's a foggy day here, so in the absence of traffic, two relevant questions...
1. Around 80% of our fog warnings from the Met Office come AFTER we report fog. (There's something mind-numbing about reporting 500m in FG and then, twenty minutes later, getting a fax saying 'fog may affect your airfield today...'). Is it just our unpredictable weather, or do other units find the same thing?
2. Do other units get their Met Office weather warnings (fog, frost, ice, strong wind etc.) by fax too? Why do they use fax when all other Met Office stuff (regionals, TAFs, METARs etc) comes on the AFTN?
