According to the eurocontrol tactical update it is weather disruption for Lhr and the south east generally.

Yes Eurocontrol is reporting cumulonimbus activity for both LGW and LHR, as well as the London and Brussels airspace. A few other places in Europe also affected at the moment.

Currently showing 9Y on both flights and J4/J5 plus some other limited availability in other fare classes on both.

Yes, a bit in both cases. If things get sticky, LCY is wide open on their evening flights. LGW is nearly sold out.

Reminds me of when my dad worked in Ghana for the Boys Brigade, setting up the movement there. If a meeting was called for 1930, the inevitable question was asked 'is that BB time or Ghana time?'
