Took the NGX from Kuala Lumpur to Penang today and thought I would check the destination weather en route.
Rex Essentials said that at Penang the wind was 170 at 7 knots.
Airport Nav finder said that 5 minutes ago it was 300 at 6 knots
METAR on the net said it was 220 at 4 knots
ATIS within FSX finally announced that the surface wind at Penang was 138 at 3 knots and suggested that I use the ILS 04 approach.
When I landed there was no wind at all according to the windsock.
By the way one report said that at 4pm at this time of year Penang's temperature was only 15 degrees. Won't they be surprised!!
It is frustrating though. What does everyone else do or use?
