Hundreds of flights have been canceled in the UK this weekend due to a severe storm. A total of tens of thousands of passengers are affected at several airports, including those of the airlines Easyjet and British Airways. Meteorologists are again expecting flooding due to heavy rainfall, hundreds of houses could be affected.
Storm “Dennis” is also likely to lead to disruptions in rail traffic, on the streets and in the power supply. Just a week ago, a severe storm had caused significant damage to the country. However, meteorologists rate storm “Dennis” as more dangerous than “Ciara”, which caused chaos last weekend. Because in some regions it could rain as much in one day or two days as in a whole month. Since the ground has softened in many places due to the last storm, the consequences are now likely to be more serious, according to the experts.
“Dennis” is heading for Austria
Soldiers are already helping the exhausted inhabitants of Calderdale in northern England, who are still suffering from the damage caused by the last storm. According to the meteorologists, “Dennis” will pick up speed over the course of Saturday and rage until about Sunday evening. The north and south-west of England and Wales are particularly affected.
And “Dennis” is also heading for mainland Europe. Austria will also feel its effects. First of all, however, it remains with us like spring.
