Luxembourg City and several municipalities have implemented precautionary measures, including canceling events, to safeguard public safety in anticipation of severe weather conditions.
Luxembourg City authorities have chosen not to proceed with the planned public screening of the European Championship match on the big screen at Glacis at 9pm. They cited concerns over the current weather forecasts, deeming it too risky and irresponsible to host such a gathering.
Similarly, the Future Talent Stage event in the city has also been called off due to the weather alert, emphasising the priority of ensuring public safety.
In Mamer, the municipality has cancelled Tom Gaebel's concert with the Luxembourg Jazz Orchestra, originally set for Saturday evening at 8:30pm, in accordance with the Meteolux orange alert.
Meanwhile, the council of the municipality of Contern has decided to cancel the Depeche Mode tribute show, which was initially scheduled as part of the cultural summer in Moutfort, due to the expected adverse weather conditions on Saturday evening.
At the Siren's Call festival, preparations for the main stage had been completed before organisers opted to relocate the entire setup to Melusina, likely due to the anticipated impact of the upcoming weather.
These decisions reflect a coordinated effort by authorities and event organisers throughout Luxembourg to prioritise public safety in response to the Meteolux orange warning.
Residents were urged to take necessary precautions and stay informed about developments regarding the weather conditions.
The operetta "An der Schwemm" in Wiltz was also canceled due to the weather conditions.
At around 10,30pm, it was reported that Findel Airport was closed, and flights were being diverted. Flights from Paris and Calvi were rerouted to Liège and Dubrovnik, and a flight from Zadar was redirected to Frankfurt.
However, shortly after 11pm, news came that Findel had reopened.
