And Manchester Airport didn't escape the battering winds.
The footage shows the holiday jet - a Jet2 Boeing 737 - on its final approach to the airport this afternoon.
The two minute-long clip - on AviationUpclose - captures the plane being buffeted in the air in the crosswind gales.
It's pushed from side to side with its landing gear fully engaged above the airport's runway ahead of an anticipated landing.
The pilot, skilfully, manages to touch down two wheels, but quickly takes off again.
The aircraft - believed to be a flight from Malaga in Spain - was reportedly forced to divert to East Midlands Airport - after a second failed attempt to land at Manchester following the 'go around', a common manoeuvre.
It's a standard landing procedure to take the plane around for another go at approaching the runway.
Pilots are often forced to use the procedure if they experience a late, sudden gust of wind, which conditions such as Saturday's appeared to bring.
AviationUpclose said on Twitter: "Windshear go around followed by a heavy bounced touch and go for this Jet2 737 at Manchester Airport during Storm Malik.
"The aircraft diverted to East Midlands."
