Plane battered by 50mph winds struggles to land at Birmingham Airport
This is the moment an Aer Lingus flight was rocked by nightmare weather.
Gale-force crosswinds of 50mph battered the passenger plane this morning as it landed in Birmingham.
Torrential rain also vastly reduced visibility following the journey from Belfast.
Footage shows the light propeller jet wobbling in the air on the approach to the runway.
A struggle ensued when it touched down as the wind pushed the plane back into the air.
But the pilot eventually managed to safely continue along the runway on Monday – likely much to the relief of passengers onboard.
Brits are set for yet another cold blast as snow, ice and strong winds hit parts of the nation today.
A yellow warning for wind covers Birmingham and other spots across the Midlands and southern England.
Power cuts and travel delays are likely, with winds of up to 65 mph in coastal areas and on hills.
Yellow warnings for snow and ice across are also in place across Scotland, the Met Office has announced.
Sunday was a wet day for many as temperatures plunged to minus 8.4°C in Baltasound in Shetland, Scotland, although elsewhere there was a high of 14.6°C in Northolt, west London.
By the Monday morning rush hour, there were more than 60 flood alerts along with five warnings that flooding was expected.
The Met Office said: ‘Cold air spreading southwards across the UK, following a band of rain, sleet and snow, will bring frequent snow showers to northern, western, and eastern Scotland, as well as parts of Northern Ireland.
‘Overnight, these will accumulate on some roads and pavements, with anywhere between a light dusting and several cm of snow possible.
‘Between the showers, partially melted snow is likely to freeze on untreated surfaces leading to icy stretches.
‘Wintry showers will continue through Tuesday, although by mid-morning the temperature on most roads will likely have risen sufficiently to reduce the risk of further accumulating snow or ice.’
