Due to heavy rain there has been quite a few missed approaches in past 30 mins.

Latest Atis has flooding on aprons.

There is now significant delays with holding in process.

On the ground both departing and arriving aircraft require follow me vehicles as visibility is down to 500 metres.

Now cancelling all departure clearances due extreme weather and massive arrival holding of aircraft.

Royal Brunei has asked for ROK conditions as a alternate.

Brunei 72 has diverted to Sydney, and has just arrived. Taxiing to Bay 56 as I type.

Was anyone out at Sydney and got a photo? Am i right in presuming that Brunei don't fly to Sydney?

They used to, and the bird in today was the same as the one that used to most frequently visit.

The fenceline was rather quiet.

Pitch black with thunder and lightning in Sydney as I type. Can't even see from one side of the harbour to the other! I wonder if there will be diversions away from YSSY...

It's only a narrow cell, so should be through in a jiffy!

10Nm lightning alert was issued about 15 minutes ago, but no 5Nm alert, so it won't be too bad.

Just heard on the scanner there was at least one go-around due to 'severe' overshoot shear...and it sounds like they are putting aircraft into holds, just told an ANZ flight to expect landing time '16'. So its not only BNE working with bad weather today.

Yeah, a Dash-8 reported it at 400' as severe overshoot shear, but the next 2 arrivals had it as only moderate at the same altitude.
The worst seems to have passed through now.

A number of domestic flights diverted from BNE to other ports.

Looks like I picked a good day to stay at home!

Always good fun and games when both SYD and BNE have an issue.

Lots of fuel being carried I'm sure!

Here's a (seriously nice) shot of Royal Brunei departing courtesy of a mate who happened to be out there for the departure.

They must have got lucky to get a small break in the cloud...have a look how dark the background is.
