AFAIK Wizzair UK was principally set up to allow the airline to fly between the UK and non Hungarian destinations in the event of no deal. It has been opportunistic
in taking advantage of opportunities beyond this

BBC reporting Thameslink at a standstill currently between London and Bedford due to power outages nationality, airport reporting no problems

Not quite true as the terminal is part flooded. Quite an achievement when it is on high ground

Heard there has even been an evacuation and the place is in disarray although I am waiting for confirmation

LHR is starting to stack them up over North Sea, not good timing if requests for diversions start coning in.

It rained intensely for maybe a little over 5 minutes. Been in worse but only in Florida. Not a good time to be drooped off in the drop off zone. Maybe the flooding was due to dripping clothes?

Looks bad by what had been posted on social media by M&S

Fantastic, that's the only bit on the ground floor new build to get a ceiling and was only finished 2 weeks ago.

Just occurred to me that most of the video was shot outside M&S while there is a floor above. Must have been worse upstairs.

Unprecedented rain? Really?

Travelled into Luton in May and arrived early morning just as rain started to come down. There was water pouring down immediately after Border security but before the gates you walk through, eventually saw someone to tell on way out and was reported to duty manager.

Last week or it could have been the week before, Luton Councillors refused to declare a climate emergency after being warned and reminded by the airport chairman that the council want to double the size of the airport. Karma comes to mind as the council owned building was extensively flooded including much of the first floor departure lounge where restaurants had to be evacuated for safety reasons. There is some staggering footage if you dig deep.

The Departure board on the airport website are now showing more information telling passengers which belt there luggage will be but more interesting is the information regarding cancelled services. This morning's easy Nice is cancelled due to no aircraft being available and last night's Mahon was cancelled due to the crew being out of hours. Never seen this before on an airport website.

The physics of our atmosphere - how it acts as a blanket round the earth - was worked out 200 years ago. The effect of the massive release of CO2 due to the industrial revolution was predicted 100 years ago. As predicted, the climate has become more energetic and in general warmer. Anyone who thinks it hasn't, has to explain why, by proving 200 years of physics to be wrong.

Weather disruption again, some unusual arrival routings again?

With regards to climate change, I suspect all the London airports and their respective growth plans will face a bigger challenge in terms of government environmental policy over the coming years.
Luton council chose not to declare a climate emergency, Uttlesford council (where Stansted is located) did.
Commercial and environmental interests will need to be balanced somehow and I have no idea what the outcome will be but right now it feels as if the pendulum is swinging more strongly towards the environmental arguments.
