RTL Today - Road closures: Flying parasols and fallen barriers as winds rampage anew

The return of bad weather Saturday afternoon undid the brief recovery period in Limpertsberg, with powerful gusts knocking over barriers and sending furniture flying just hours before scheduled concerts.

A small storm swept through Limpertsberg on Saturday, disrupting setups for the day's concerts celebrating the new Grand Duke. Despite a brief period of calm, strong winds returned in the afternoon, causing further issues.

The adverse weather, for which Luxembourg remains under a yellow alert until 7pm, initially struck late morning. Gusts damaged tents that had been erected for the weekend's festivities.

After the rain subsided and gave way to sunshine, the bad weather returned as forecast. Around 4.45pm, one of our colleagues at RTL Infos witnessed a large parasol being lifted by the wind and blown across a road in Walferdange.

Minutes later, an entire row of barriers was seen knocked over, likely by the powerful gusts.

Due to the conditions, several scheduled concerts at Glacis have been cancelled.
