I checked experflyer, but I am not sure where to look for the code:

I kind of assume it was because of storm PIA, but we are the only BA flight cancelled today out of DUS, so seems a bit weird.
The booking was made through AA and we got rebooked a day later on saturday 23-12 (BA937 DUS-LHR and BA289 LHR-PHX) because we have a connecting flight to Phoenix.
There were no other options available on the 22nd.

BA 937 is cancelled with a code of WEAN. This is due to flow rate restrictions into LHR. The below screenshots show the regulation in force.

You can search for other flight options in order to minimise your delay arriving into PHX and put those options to BA in order to be rebooked, fingers crossed you can find a routing and availability.
