Humour from the wind
With 23 in use for some of today because of the wind we were asking for turbulence reports and windshear reports.
I had to laugh when after asking an aer lings did he get any WSR on the approach he replied
"Ah sure sir, it was a wee bit bumpy up der"
Made me laugh. Hope the pilots enjoyed 23s outing. I did

Last evenings winds were horendous.
Pilots reported 2000' wind as 75 kts! Yukk.
Good to see that they all kept their sense of humour.
One aircraft, when told he was being vectored for the ILS got visual and requested a visual appraoch said "No sense in prolonging the agony!!"
Was the first time I heard a pilot say he would rather be an ATCO at that time!

It sounds like Wellington NZ on a 'normal' day, certainly makes life interesting sequencing aircraft (slowed to min clean) making 320kts across the ground with acft on final making 90kts ground speed. A 20 mile final provides plenty of ILS time if nothing else!

You southeners!!!!!! Honestly.
Up here in the wild North, 75kts at 2,000' isn't that unusual (according to the aeroplanes with the appropriate kit). Fortunately it's usually lots less at the surface, although this has the not-so-pleasing effect of big shear below 800'......
I'll concede that you have lots more thunderstorms than us, however.
