Danger of storms in London: flights canceled and traffic chaos threatened!

Strong winds cause chaos at London's Heathrow Airport! As the British capital's largest airport announced, around 100 flights were canceled this morning due to massive gusts of wind. These cancellations are part of a measure to ensure that most passengers can still follow their travel plans. Travelers are advised to check with their airline directly for the current status of their flight as airspace restrictions are in effect. Such extreme conditions are not new to the region, with the UK Met Office having already issued warnings for much of the country, with possible wind speeds of up to 70mph. Express reported about the massive impact on air traffic.

Weather warnings and travel impacts

But that's not all! Road and shipping connections are also affected, with the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning for London. Wind gusts will reach up to 72 km/h, which could cause delays not only to air travel, but also to trains and ferries. The weather is not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous, with the possibility of trees falling and short-term power outages. So reported MyLondon, that travelers should check conditions before traveling to ensure there are no loose outdoor objects endangering their safety.

Travelers in London are urged to exercise caution: windy conditions will continue to intensify throughout the day and extra care should be taken when crossing exposed roads. The strong winds not only make driving a car difficult, but also everyday spending time outdoors. In such turbulent times, it is advisable to always keep your own safety and that of others in mind.
