Flying DUB-LHR tonight and ba app shows taking off 15mins late but arriving 2hrs late, so a 3hr flight time which seemed bizarre
checked MAN-LHR and the same thing, showing on time takeoff but 2hr delayed arrival. Marseille the same.
is this a technical error in the app or has some sort of incident occurred down there tonight?

Bad weather affecting London airspace this evening unfortunately. From Eurocontrol network ops:
CB's (Cumulonimbus) = Thunderstorms
EGLL (London Heathrow)
Arrivals regulated with reduced rate due to CB's.
High delays.
EGKK (London Gatwick)
Arrivals regulated with reduced rate due to CB's.
Moderate to high delays.

There's been some intense downpours in South-East England this afternoon, with a generalised warning from the Met Office of hazardous driving conditions due to possible localised flooding leading to loss of control, etc. Those are also conditions making aviation a trickier endeavour.

good luck to everyone flying tonight, hopefully no more than the "two hours"....

Under the flight path 6 miles from LHR and no thunderstorm all day here... plenty of nasty looking clouds with the potential though. The flights are coming in at the usual rate. Surprised at the delays tbh.
