Wind is forcast to pick up from 0700 onwards. After 1000 it does start to get a bit worse and gusts to 35kts coming from 190 degrees.
Am I right in thinking that the landing crosswind limit for the heavies (777/747) is 35-40kts? I haven't calculated the crosswind component but I would imagine that if it is coming from 190deg it could gust close to the limit?

BBC weather suggesting a southerly of up to 52mph (45kts) at 3pm tomorrow.
