That would explain why the line itself issued a statement that the weather was good and not a factor in the accident.
I agree that tropical weather is a localised phenomenon BUT I have lived in Bali for 20 years and have a pretty good grasp of local weather conditions. On the day of the accident there was NO TS activity. That, of course, does not preclude localised rain showers on approach.
The boxes were an easy recovery job so the answers should be available shortly.
PS. I heard from my equally unreliable sources the PIC was actually sexting his girlfriend ;-)
