Storm Bert Causes Widespread Disruptions in UK

Storm Bert has unleashed severe weather across the UK, leading to the cancellation of hundreds of flights and significant travel disruptions. Heathrow Airport has been the hardest hit, with over 200 flights cancelled over the weekend due to extreme winds and flooding, resulting in power outages and train service cancellations. In South Wales, officials declared a major incident due to severe flooding, with at least four fatalities reported, including a 75-year-old man found in the River Conwy. In Newcastle, heavy snow compounded the chaos, leaving runways 'decimated' and flights delayed or cancelled. As the storm begins to move away, airlines are expected to face further challenges in resuming normal operations. Passengers are advised to check with airlines for updates on their travel plans amid ongoing adverse weather conditions.
