Recently, after widespread flooding caused by storm Babet in Denmark and Norway, it is now sweeping across the UK. Storm Babet caused many countries to face strong winds, rainstorm and storm surge, and triggered floods and other disasters, resulting in large-scale power outages or evacuation of people in many places, and many flights, ferries and railway services were interrupted.

It is reported that during the storm, strong winds and waves hit the northeast coast of the UK, causing damage to the docks. Severe weather conditions caused huge anchor points to fall off, crew members to be evacuated, and several ships in Granton Port sank and were damaged in the storm.

The subsequent floods also disrupted land transportation in the UK, resulting in difficult driving conditions and road closures. In terms of railway transportation, multiple trains were delayed or cancelled. The UK Meteorological Agency continues to warn that train and bus services will face delays and cancellations in the future.

According to reports, there have been widespread disruptions to the transportation network and power outages in the northeastern region of England. Due to poor conditions in the North Sea, DFDS has also suspended flights between North Shields and Amsterdam.
