"Dennis" in Great Britain: Experts anticipate dire consequences
According to experts, during the storm, it could rain as much in a day or two days as it usually does in a month. This is particularly critical with regard to the fact that in many places the ground is still softened by the last storm. The country is therefore expecting even more serious consequences than last weekend. These include floods that could potentially affect hundreds of homes.
Hundreds of UK flights were canceled over the weekend due to the severe storm. Tens of thousands of passengers had to do without their flights, including from the airlines Easyjet and British Airways. There were also disruptions to rail traffic and the streets on Saturday.
