Christmas weather chaos causes widespread disruption to UK flights and ferries ahead of the holiday season
ai generated text
Heathrow airport has reported a "small number" of flight cancellations due to strong winds and airspace restrictions. British Airways has also made a "small number of cancellations." Weather forecasts predict wind, rain, thunder, and snow, leading to potential delays and cancellations, as well as road disruptions. Airports are preparing to handle stranded passengers, and retailers are concerned about potential footfall reductions due to weather-related travel disruptions.
The strong winds will be more widespread on Sunday, with gusts of 50-60mph expected quite widely. Around some exposed coasts and hills, gusts of 60 to 70mph are possible, especially in the north and west.
