Storm Ciara 15 GO AROUNDS in 75KT WINDS at Manchester Airport! 9/2/20

Ciara, the largest storm to hit the UK since 2013 caused havoc across the country as well as further afield in Europe with many airports facing many go arounds, diversions and cancellations. Despite being largely into the prevailing wind, Manchester saw a fair amount of disruption, more than I've ever seen before! Wind were out of the South West averaging around 30 Knots gusting to 45 knots. However around Midday there was a gust reported of 75 Knots! This is eqaul to 86Mph or 139Kph, insane! It's therefore not surprsing that during the few hours I was there, there were 15 Go Arounds (13 Of Which I caught on Camera). We did also however, get a number of diverts with the highlight being Qatar Airways Airbus A380 A7-APG which diverted in from LHR!
