Coming into ABZ goes from CAVOK to 200m in the space of 2 mins as usual not on the TAF'

The youngish sounding Radar controller reads the METAR out and tells us to take up the hold and asks us what our intentions are.

I ask if they they think its a temp drop or thats it for the day.

The reply went along the lines of "We cannot give unoffical wx forcasts and my instructor is scowling at me wagging his finger. But there is an auld sandle wearing controller sitting in the radar room with his thumb down if that helps"

"request divert Edinburgh direct through Class G"

Was just going to tower when all the jets started turning up who had hung about waiting for the met office to update the TAF to extreme ****e for the rest of the afternoon.

Didn't seem to limit the lads career though as I heard him many times since.
