Storm Ashley. Where is she?

We’re west coast of Scotland so very exposed.
Husband planned to make a trip to B&Q to collect supplies for current building work. I talked him out of it as didn’t think it wise to drive with items on roof of car during a storm. Forecast predicted wind gusts of 40mph from 4am.

I’ve been awake on and off since then and so far, no gusts!

Husband now making frantic dash to B&Q!

Has the wind picked up for anyone else yet?

You've probably realised now that this morning's horizontal sogginess was just a spin off from the main event, here!

It's still not so bad in Hartlepool - wind's blowing but it's been worse!

Feel bad saying that because some bit of the country are getting a battering ☹️

Tried to land but had to pull up again.

notimagain · 20/10/2024 23:39

One down, one missed..

I’m not sure there’s have been as many landing attempts as it has perhaps appeared looking at Flightradar. yes they’ve been overflying the airport but that’s been at altitude whilst in the holding pattern, presumably whilst waiting for the wind to drop before making an attempt.

Not sure of Ryanair’s rules but there’s often a company imposed limit on how many approaches you can make before diverting (usually two, total, if the second go fails you divert)

No, Durham, though I visit Spenny regularly.

This flight is having quite a time of it.

The first few were at 8000ft, only the last one was a real attempt - you can see from the colour (yellow rather than green) that it went lower and properly lined up with the runway before pulling up.
