An erupting volcano in Iceland is causing severe air travel disruption to UK and transatlantic European flights. Normal weather patterns here in the UK are dominated by Atlantic low pressure systems sweeping in from the southwest but unfortunately at the moment we have settled weather with a high pressure system to the west which means the winds are light but from the direction of Iceland! Aircraft engines can be damaged by volcanic dust so vast majority of flights currently suspended.
The high isn't moving a lot so this situation could be around for a few days at minimum.
