Storm Noa: Planes struggle to land at Bristol airport in strong wind gusts

Planes at Bristol Airport have been filmed struggling to land as strong winds hit the region this week. The Met Office has issued two yellow weather warnings for strong winds across the South, South West, and Wales after 68mph winds closed the Severn Bridge on Wednesday morning.

In a video, shared by YouTube channel Aviation Hunters, planes battled winds of to 60 mph with strong crosswinds during bad weather this week. Though the video was shared on Monday, April 10, heavy winds continued over the following days, culminating in a yellow weather warning which has been issued from 6am to 8pm today (April 12).

The latest warning, issued earlier on Wednesday morning, warns strong winds caused by Storm Noa could bring disruption. Road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible, together with possible closure of bridges.
