Cancelled flights & travel chaos as Arctic blast covers Europe

Chaos culminated in Europe’s roads & airports after an Arctic blast disrupted multiple ways of travel over the weekend.

The UK in particular was brought to a standstill as Gatwick and Stansted Airports were forced to close their runways due to heavy snow while commuters were stranded in traffic on the M25 motorway.

Several weather warnings have been issued across Europe, with temperatures in Scandinavia expected to drop as low as -23 Celsius.

The weather situation was caused by low pressure over the Atlantic and western Europe, with the Arctic blast spreading from the north to south and gradually spreading over the rest of Europe, making it the coldest Winter season so far.

In Malta, weather is forecasted to remain mainly cloudy until Wednesday, with temperature highs of 21°C and lows of 15°C.
