BA314 CDG
BA83 ABV

Finally we have some LHR cancellations. I am not totally sure of the reasons, though they aren't weather related. It's possible that CDG was ATC related in a sense, since the aircraft was heavily delayed on the previous sector to and then from INV. But for CDG that would be regarded as knock-on. The allocated aircraft went on to do a GLA rotation instead, so it wasn't TECY. ABV looks to be TECY, it was down for G-VIIC but was cancelled at the gate just before boarding would have started. Otherwise 328 departures out of 652.

Most likely staying dry, but a low (10%) risk of a very isolated light shower 07-12Z, which could fall as sleet or snow (with no accumulations).
