Jet2 and Ryanair have issued weather warnings for flights departing from northern England and Scotland as a low-pressure system brings strong crosswinds and heavy rain to the Irish Sea and North Sea coasts.
The live ranking above shows the most active warnings today, with Manchester and Leeds Bradford airports reporting the highest disruption risk. Both airlines are advising passengers to check their flight status before travelling.
What do the Jet2 and Ryanair weather warnings mean for passengers?
These are operational alerts triggered by Met Office severe weather forecasts. They allow airlines to adjust schedules, re-route flights or waive change fees without penalty. Passengers on affected routes to Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands should expect possible delays.
Where are the affected airports?
The warnings primarily cover airports in northern England – Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds Bradford, Newcastle – plus Scottish hubs like Glasgow and Edinburgh. Strong crosswinds are the main concern for take‑offs and landings, while heavy rain reduces visibility during approach.
Will my flight be cancelled?
Direct cancellations are rare for these warnings. Airlines typically delay departures until conditions improve. Contact your airline or check its app for real‑time updates before heading to the airport.
How can I check my flight status?
Use the airline’s official website or app, or monitor the airport’s live departure board. Avoid third‑party trackers as they can lag behind official updates. Refresh an hour before your scheduled departure.
Are there compensation rights if I’m delayed?
EU‑style compensation (UK261) does not apply when delays are caused by extreme weather – airlines treat it as an “extraordinary circumstance”. You may still be entitled to care, such as meals and accommodation if the wait is long.
