Storms Disrupt Travel Across Europe and North America

Severe thunderstorms have caused extensive travel disruptions in Hungary and neighboring Eastern European countries, including Serbia, Croatia, and Slovenia. Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport was temporarily closed due to flooding and debris, leading to evacuations and relocation of check-in operations, with several arriving flights diverted and cancellations possible. Rail services around Lake Balaton were severely affected, with gale-force winds damaging infrastructure and prompting replacement bus services. Storm-related travel delays and cancellations also impacted Montreal’s Trudeau Airport and Nashville International Airport in the US. Authorities in all affected regions have issued severe weather alerts and advise travelers to monitor updates and prepare for continued disruptions. Efforts are underway to manage safety and minimize delays across air and rail networks.
