Storm Isha: Flights diverted, cancelled as extreme weather batters UK and Ireland

Ireland and the U.K. were battered by Storm Isha over the weekend, facing heavy winds and intense rainfall that triggered weather alerts and travel advisories across the region. Hundreds of scheduled flights and trains were cancelled across the board, while many airlines caught by the storm mid-flight were forced to divert their routes for the safety of passengers. Scotland's train services in particular will reportedly be impacted, until Network Rail Scotland concludes inspections on its tracks. Isha is the ninth named storm to hit the region in the last year and expected to continue wreaking havoc until Monday evening.
