Yes, reason is weather at LHR. It’s fine and sunny if a bit chilly at MAN.
But good news is that pilot has just come back on to tell us we might be leaving in a few mins - ie the predicted 90min delay has evaporated down to just over 30mins.

pretty foggy at LHR. Low level cloud all the way to touchdown. Gloriously sunny up above. Waiting for a stand…

We were on the 958 to MUC last night - ended up diverting to Stuttgart.
No assistance provided etc so my advice if traveling today would be to scope out alternative travel/ hotel options in case.
(& we're currently on a bus to MUC in the hope that our flight back to LHR on the 3rd is on)

And the fog and de-icing view from the Cathay lounge. But it does seem to be lifting a bit with my flight now said to be only 20 minutes delayed from the previous 45 mins. And there’s worse places to be on a Saturday morning.
