Britons hoping to set off on holiday this week could face delays or cancellations.
Ryanair has told passengers of potential disruptions due to conditions outside its control.
Thunderstorms in parts of Europe could disrupt flights leaving from the UK as they will affect Ryanair’s wider network.
This began yesterday and holidaymakers leaving today are urged to check their flight regularly for the latest updates.

Ryanair stated there will be “significant disruption across networks due to widespread thunderstorms”.
It added: “Due to thunderstorm activity across the network on Thursday 27th/Friday 28th June, we advise passengers travelling on these days of potential for significant disruption to flights.
“We are working hard to keep disruption to a minimum, but passengers affected by these thunderstorms will be notified via the Ryanair App.
“We encourage all passengers travelling with us [today] to keep an eye on the app for the latest updates on their flight.
“We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused to passengers by these adverse weather conditions, which are completely outside of Ryanair’s control.”
Delayed flights and cancellations are incredibly frustrating for travellers and are often the result of unpredictable factors, such as weather or technical failures.
Over the last week, holidaymakers have faced “chaos” at major UK airports including Manchester and Heathrow.
Some travellers flying from Heathrow Airport were forced to deal with lost luggage after a technical fault from British Airways.
A power cut in Manchester Airport on Sunday left customers stranded as they waited for updates on their flights.

On Sunday, the airport posted on X: “Manchester Airport was affected by a major power cut earlier this morning. This has caused widespread disruption and a significant number of flights, particularly from Terminals 1 or 2 today are advised to contact their airlines for up-to-date information before coming to the airport.
“Passengers due to fly from Terminal 3 should come to the airport as normal unless advised otherwise by their airline but could be affected by delays. We apologise for any inconvenience and aim to restore normal service as soon as possible.”
On Monday, they shared an update and told flyers “all our systems are running as normal”.
