I honestly have to laugh at this idea you can get up in the morning, check the weather forecast and decide to change flights, easily at that. In my world, I have commitments, places I need to be, things I need to organise both on the day of travel, and at the time of booking travel to hope things go smoothly.

As a regular traveller from Belfast for quite a long time, it is my experience these flights arrive early, and very very rarely get bussed. I doubt that purely luck. It’s a small efficient airport.

Perhaps the travel could have been better thought through, though drawing from previous experiences I did not foresee any risk.

My original post was written at a time of frustration and dread at the 48 hours ahead, and looking some positivity I guess. My curiosity in the question was more related to what happens with UK261 when several factors lead to delay.

As for unequivocally arguing the delay was caused by weather this is rubbish. Even taking JDB’s timing of the go around that equates to 13 minutes. The combined delay in leaving and being bussed was much longer than 13 minutes.
