Something Happening at AMS This Morning (8th Dec.)?
KLM 676 did a sharp right over Northumberland and headed for Manchester around 0830. Others diverting too according to Schipol on-line arrivals information. FR24 shows airfield in open, though.

Quite a number of diversions into Brussels. Landing rates are reduced in poor visibility and as this was during a peak arrival period it inevitably led to a backlog resulting in some flights having to divert.

It's very easy to dial up the METARS
Put EHAM in the METAR history box
Aviation Weather › Europe › AVWX.info › metar taf sigmet notam winds aloft significant weather information
From this you will see rain and hail showers and a squall on the 0755z METAR with the wind going up to 20kts gusting 32kts from 290 degrees which would have restricted landings. Vis was 10km or more most of the time

Drove today from Limburg in the south, dep. 1130 up to Amsterdam arr. 1300 and between den Bosch and Utrecht it was heavy sleet and hail. No road treatment surprisingly for NL. Snow this evening also in the Amsterdam area.
