Loss of performance descending from higher speed "free stream" winds experienced at 500' on downwind on a hot, windy day into disturbed and varying friction layer winds close to the ground..

Normal wind shear.

Even a hot and windy day at Perth airport is nasty enough. There are obvious gust pocket ripples on the footage of the Swan River.
