Someone mentions from one of the planefinder tracks that the Virgin aircraft is circling.

I know for a fact they went around due weather. They were number 2 behind the Lion Air aircraft. This comes direct from a mate in Virgin.

So despite the METAR evidence, there was obviously some sort of weather phenomena affecting the approach path around about the time Lion Air made their approach.
