A plane was forced to abort landing after being blown sideways while trying to land during Storm Kathleen.
Terrifying video footage shows the aircraft being blown sideways as it attempted to touch down at Dublin Airport on Saturday. Captured and shared by EU Plane Spotters on YouTube, the plane can be seen moving rapidly from side to side as it battles against severe winds.
It momentarily touches the runway before it is swept sideways, forcing the pilot to abort the landing and ascend back into the stormy sky. Our sister title, Dublin Live reports that a handful of flights were cancelled at the airport on Saturday due to adverse weather conditions.
Much like the rest of the UK, a yellow weather warning remained in place until 10pm in Northern Ireland for strong winds. Despite the weather warning ending, however, the Met Office forecasted windy conditions throughout Sunday.
The weather forecaster said: "Another rather windy day with sunny spells and a few scattered showers, these most frequent in the afternoon. Fresh to strong southwesterly winds, easing down later. Maximum temperature 14 C."
Looking ahead to the weather across the UK for next week, the Met Office said: "Low pressure will still be in charge of the UK’s weather through the beginning of next week with further wind and rain at times for many. From the middle of next week, there is a chance of drier conditions developing at times in the south, as high-pressure tries to build in.
"Elsewhere, conditions are likely to remain rather unsettled, although there will be a tendency for the heaviest and most prolonged spells of rain to become focused across northwestern areas."
