The forecasting has fallen over badly in the last couple of months. In a two month period I have personally seen unforecasted fog twice, overcast cloud below the minima and a unforecasted thunderstorm which was about 10 miles from the field but nowhere to be seen on a TTF 45 minutes from the destination . Additional to that is the two QF incidents, the Virgin incident plus a few more I have heard about on the grapevine.

Yes I can understand a few incorrect forecasts here and there but this is becoming an Australia wide trend.
