On June 27, thunderstorms affected operations at Heathrow and Gatwick airports in the UK, resulting in delays for hundreds of flights. The adverse weather conditions caused significant disruption across both airports.

Passengers faced delays that extended up to six hours, with some experiencing extended periods of waiting due to postponed or cancelled flights. These storm-related disruptions led to considerable stranding for travellers on site.
