06 February 2008 – Status of UKIRT Due to Poor Weather
Update, 6-Feb-2008
UKIRT will remain closed due to bad weather, until 12-Feb-2008. The island of Hawaii has been taking the brunt of a series of winter weather systems and the summit has been continually snowed in for many days. The length of the closure is determined by the need to carry out Cassegrain-to-WFCAM changeover engineering over a protracted period of short working days.
