Weather related disruption at London airports - 31 May > 1st June
I’m due to fly LHR-MAD-OPO tomorrow, leaving from LHR at 1:20pm. I’ve noticed there is a yellow warning for rain issued for tomorrow. I’ve also seen that some weather forecast services are showing a high risk of thunderstorms starting in the morning tomorrow. Should I expect disruption at LHR tomorrow? |
Let me just check my crystal ball...

BA have cancelled proactively a low number of flights tomorrow (EDI, GLA, AMS etc).This means they are expecting some disruption. Generally this does seem to prevent the system overloading too much but how that affects a given flight is impossible to say at this stage, other than that those flights in the schedule are now expected to operate.
[It's always good to put a date into threads like this, since "tomorrow" will turn into "today" and then "yesterday", at least on current trends]. |
As I can see, a few more flights have been cancelled today to various domestic and short-haul destinations.
|
As of now, 25 flights cancellations at LHR today. Not just BA, but BA flights seem to be the majority. |
BA flights are the majority at Heathrow (about 55% of slots at Heathrow are BA if I remember correctly).
BA also take (somewhat voluntarily, to avoid being volun-told) more of a hit from any capacity reduction than airlines with only a few flights. |
Luckily my flight to MAD does not seem to be impacted and no sign of rain or thunderstorms here at LHR. On board now. |
Also tomorrow is forecast as being Thunderstorms for most of the day in GLA and mid afternoon/early evening in EDI.

My flight into LHR this evening is already posting a 1 hour delay, which I know for sure will increase. Out of 6 flights in 5 days, all have been delayed. Nothing can be done, just a fact of life on the road :D

A lot of delays at LGW because of the weather - my flight to RAK is due to depart about 1.5 hours late. |

Imagine how the aircraft doing the flights to Vienna is doing in this: (from https://www.lightningmaps.org/blitzo...ex.php?lang=en ) https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4277f23435.png |
