Glasgow airport reopens after heavy snow as UK braces for more adverse weather
Ilaria Grasso MacolaGlasgow airport has reopened after a heavy snowfall, with the UK braced for more adverse weather over the coming days, including more snow and heavy rain.
The airport resumed services on Sunday morning (3 December) after dozens of flights were cancelled a day prior due to the snow.
“The runway is fully operational and we are working with our airline partners and their handlers to resume flight schedules,” it said in a statement. “Passengers should continue to contact their airlines for further information.”
It comes as the Met Office has been issuing yellow weather warnings for wider parts of the country – including Scotland, northern England and the south-west.
Scotland is bracing for disruption to its transport and infrastructure system as wintry showers and snow are expected on Monday (4 December), whereas icy patches are likely to continue creating travel issues in the north.
The Cumbria police declared a “major incident” over the weekend, after 7,000 homes and businesses lost power and the roads were unusable due to the snow.
“The first Atlantic air mass for a while is making some inroads across southern and central parts of the country, bringing less cold conditions to many southern areas, whilst the cold air mass continues to hold on in the north,” said chief meteorologist Jason Kelly. “Where these two air masses meet is the focus for continuing ice risk.”
Nevertheless, meteorologists believe the situation will improve later this week, with snowfall being restricted to northern Scotland due to temperatures returning to the December average.
