Ash has spread to Italian airspace
 
France, Switzerland and Portugal may also be affected by closures.

Ash could return to Ireland and Scotland tomorrow

What a summer this is turning out to be.

Very worrisome.

cambe, thanks for the alert. My husband and I are flying out of PHL to Rome tomorrow. We will certainly be hoping there is a shift in the wind directions away from FCO before we depart. Deborah

Darn! Yesterday my son was grounded by volcanic ash @ Gatwick while trying to fly to Berlin. On Wed he is flying Berlin/Milan so I hope the dust settles by then.

Thx for the link, tracker
