It seems the winter season has finally arrived, with the first major fogging of the season.
132 flights have been cancelled due to the fog today out of London Heathrow, and 44 delayed or diverted away from London City due to the fog
The BBC Weather Centre as well as the Met Office predicts the fog will lift around 10:00 on Monday Morning (21st November), however with fog, movements are slowed down into Heathrow, and Air Traffic slows for safety purposes.
Heathrow has been open throughout however.
If you’ve got an early morning segment out of the London Area , check before you go as you may find a delay to your service.
I left AMS yesterday morning at what must have been near minimums. From my window seat I could see just past the taxiway markers and when the plane turned onto the runway I got a glimpse of what the pilot sees, which was a small amount of concrete and dozen or so lights straight ahead.
I was, in fact, pleasantly surprised that the inbound that made up my flight arrived without delay and that we left on time, too.
