A Jet2 aircraft was seen grappling with extreme wind conditions while attempting to land at Leeds Bradford Airport as Storm Floris unleashed powerful gusts across parts of the UK.
The dramatic landing attempt unfolded as wind speeds soared above 100mph, causing widespread disruption. The storm has already downed trees onto roads, railways, and power lines, leading to outages and severe travel delays across several regions.
Leeds Bradford Airport, located in one of the storm-affected zones, became a scene of turbulence as pilots struggled to maintain control during landing amid relentless crosswinds. The Jet2 plane’s precarious descent was captured on video, highlighting the storm’s intense impact on aviation operations.
Elsewhere across the UK, emergency crews have been working round-the-clock to clear debris and restore power to thousands of homes left in the dark. Rail and road travel have also been significantly disrupted, with many routes temporarily shut down due to fallen trees and safety concerns.
Meteorologists warn that Storm Floris could continue to bring hazardous conditions through the next 24 hours, urging citizens to avoid unnecessary travel and remain indoors where possible. The UK Met Office has issued weather alerts for multiple areas, as authorities monitor the evolving situation closely.
