OK - yesterday, I was flying all day, wind didn't exceed 8 knots on any of the 4 airfields I visited,
which seems pretty consistent with the 240 10 knot forecast for EGHH away from the showers
secondly cloud base was more like 3 to 3.5k and yes there were some showers...
and Bournemouth (if you were in Dorset, you don't say) was reporting a cloud base of between 2000 and 3000 ft much of the day, again, pretty much according to forecast.
If you simply look at the characters "TSRA" and "G25KT" without bothering to interpret the forecast, no wonder you end up not flying.
