Airline pilot battles extreme crosswinds as he attempts to land as South is hit by 70mph gales Gusts of up to 90mph have been forecast for Britain as parts of the country took a battering today and aeroplanes struggled to land in the high winds. The Environment Agency today had some 70 flood alerts and five more serious flood warnings in place, with the majority in south-west England. Air France and Ryanair aeroplanes were pictured landing sideways at Bristol Airport as Britain was hit by winds today that reached up to 75mph. The top speed was recorded at Castlederg in Northern Ireland, with a Met Office amber weather warning for the area as well as western Scotland. Met Office forecaster Alexander Burkill said: 'This evening we've got a band of very heavy rain quickly making its way eastwards across the country. 'With that we're expecting some very strong winds. Behind it we're expecting shattered showers, which could fall as sleet or snow over higher ground. 'As we go through tomorrow, whilst eastern parts should see the best of any dry weather, western parts could see showers.' He said snow is possible tomorrow in the South-West, but it is unlikely to settle at lower levels, and there is a risk of strong gales in exposed areas. Devon was particularly badly hit today, with gusts of 70mph reported by Dartmoor Zoo and the Higher Ferry at Dartmouth was closed due to high winds. The council was urging people to travel with care and said road surfaces could also drop below freezing, adding that gritters would be out on the roads. Meanwhile a kite surfer was pictured braving mountainous seas whipped up by the high winds in front of Old Harry Rocks near Bournemouth, Dorset. And a sobbing young woman seen walking along a seafront in a pink dressing gown was tonight at the centre of a major police search in Hampshire. The young woman vanished after being spotted close to the water's edge in Beachlands on Hayling Island by a concerned passer-by, who alerted police. A police spokesman said: 'We are making an urgent appeal for information about a report of a missing woman in the Hayling Island area.'
