Over 200 flights cancelled at Heathrow as heavy winds spark travel chaos in London

The storm has brought more than 80% of November’s average monthly rainfall in less than 48 hours as it continues to cause disruption around the country.

Strong winds have caused flights to be cancelled and trees have fallen on railway lines meaning lengthy delays.

Gusts of up to 70mph are forecast for Sunday and crosswinds of around 40mph have caused cancellations to flights from Heathrow Airport.

Over 200 flights have been cancelled so far at Heathrow according to travel data site FlightAware.

At least 15 flights were cancelled at London City Airport throughout Sunday amid the stormy conditions.

At Gatwick Airport and Birmingham Airport there are some minor delays as a result of the adverse weather conditions.

The Met Office issued a fourth wind warning for the UK on Sunday morning, which covers central and eastern parts of England from 8am until 9pm.

Since the storm began in the early hours of Saturday, 149mm of rain has fallen in Tyn-Y-Waun in Mid Glamorgan, Wales.

On average, the area sees 180mm of rain in the whole of November, Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst said.
