It has been raining since yesterday evening until now. Yesterday was torrential rain with visibility reduced to less than 1km. Aerodrome was closed for 2hours or so.
Today is at least better. Just intermittent rain. Cloud cover 8 octas (total cover of cloud in the sky).
The non-muslims including me are scheduled to fly today. But weather does not allow us to do so.
