On June 30, 2026, extreme thunderstorms across London resulted in the suspension of more than 900 flights from two of its busiest airports, Heathrow and Gatwick. The severe weather conditions led to significant operational disruption throughout the day.
These storm-induced interruptions caused widespread flight cancellations and delays, leaving thousands of travelers stranded within airport terminals. Both airports faced considerable challenges managing the resulting passenger backlog amid ongoing adverse weather.
