Weather 07 MAR

Thanks for that link, merlinxx.

According to Suzeman, above, the A/C was D-AIHA, operating LH440/07MAR (Friday) FRA/IAH.
This week's LH440 IAH STA=1525LT.

Weather IAH 07March (according to wunderground.com).

IAH 1353LT: NNW/20mph-31mph, 10 miles, Nil Wx, Cloud BKN, +10C/-2C.
IAH 1553LT: NNW/20mph-29mph, 10 miles, Nil Wx, Cloud BKN, +11C/-2C.
IAH 1653LT: NNW/16mph-22mph, 10 miles, Nil Wx, Cloud SCT, +11C/-3C.

IAH 1500LT: 320/20mph.

[20mph=17kts; 30mph=26kts.]

As stated in post #2, I’ve no recent knowledge of IAH (Houston George Bush International).

Limited research in AvBrief suggests the following runways possibly available:
Rwy 33R, length 3657m;
Rwy 26L, length 2865m;
Rwy 26R, length 2743m.

Rwy LCNs not to hand. PCN for A340-600 not to hand.
