Violent thunderstorms on June 30, 2026, have resulted in the grounding or delay of over 900 flights at London’s two key airports, Heathrow and Gatwick. These weather conditions have severely affected normal flight operations in the UK capital.

The thunderstorm activity caused a combination of cancellations and extended delays, leaving many passengers facing long waiting times and unexpected travel disruptions at both airports. The disruptions mark a significant interruption in air transport on that day.
