TV 2 Weather: Storm hits hard – here’s how it’s affecting holiday cottages and flights

Here it comes: Storms and rain on the way

I've just checked TV 2 Weather, and it's shaping up to be a wet and windy one. After a spring-like morning with a few breaks in the cloud, a proper storm is now heading our way. A warning has just been issued, forecasting gale-force gusts before another bout of rain hits. Time to dig out the rain gear and batten down the hatches.

Look after your holiday cottage: Hasmark Strand and Binderup Strand in the firing line

North Jutland, in particular, needs to be on alert. I'm thinking of all of you who've booked a holiday cottage at Hasmark Strand or a holiday cottage at Binderup Strand this week. It's precisely these coastal spots where the wind will have free rein. Make sure to secure garden furniture, trampolines, and any loose items – and double-check that the patio door is firmly shut. It could be a noisy night out there.

Flight disruptions ahead: Keep an eye on mh96384

Are you one of those flying today? Then keep a very close eye on your departure. I can see several routes are already reporting delays, and if you're waiting for mh96384, be prepared for potential delays or cancellations. It's never fun being stuck at the airport while a storm rages outside – but better to be prepared than caught off guard.

When the weather plays up: Bingo Banko to the rescue

When rain lashes against the windows and wind howls around the corners, there's only one thing for it: bring out the cosy pastimes. Many have already rolled out the blankets and tuned in to Bingo Banko on the telly. It's the perfect excuse to stay indoors with a mug of hot chocolate and maybe a slice of homemade cake. And you might as well win a prize while you wait for the weather to sort itself out.

Here are a few tips for getting through the storm:

• Stay updated with TV 2 Weather – they know exactly when the worst will hit.
• Secure the garden and patio, especially if you're staying in a holiday cottage near Hasmark or Binderup Strand.
• Check your flight status if you're travelling – keep a particular eye on mh96384.
• Get the games out – Bingo Banko is always a winner when the weather's gone haywire.

Let's just hope this storm doesn't last too long, and that we'll soon get some milder spring weather again. Until then: take care of yourselves and each other out there – and remember, even the wildest storm always blows over.
