Yesterday, at LEPA we were warned by the Captain before take off of the wx effects of "Gonzalo" at EGKK & during the flight.
We experienced 3 mins. of moderate turbulence south of Paris (descended 2000 ft. to avoid), arrived on schedule & little discomfort on the approach & landing. This, despite "145 kt. headwinds" & 50 kt.gusts at 'KK.
Not blaming the Captain (he only goes on what he's told", but everyone seems to go way over the top these days.
