They had originally planned to land on the 5th of June, to tie in with the moon etc.
But due to the weather deteriorating by the 4th of June it was unsuitable to land. After all high seas would make landing craft impossible to land and clouds would stop aircraft finding targets. So they sheltered in bays on the south coast of Britain. It seemed that everything would be cancelled.
However on the 5th of June the forecast for the 6th showed a small improvement, so they launched the attack on the 6th. In the meantimes the Germans were happy, they thought the weather would be impossible to launch an invasion. But they were wrong
So the weather wasn't great, but it was good enough, there was a bit of swell and a few clouds around but the invasion went ahead as planned although a day late
