Flipping runways in thunderstorm conditions at LHR
Just a question:
If you have a large amount of bad weather on the east side of LHR, so much so that departing traffic is having a tough time finding a route out, but the prevailing wind is from the east, can runways be changed to the west departures even with a tail wind from the east? Is there any maximum wind that this can be done or is this "it would never happen" situation?
