The Iceland volcano shows little sign of ending its current eruption, but winds that have shifted SE now are sparing European air travel, and all airports now open. But forecasters have now expressed additional reason for concern.
►Sunday May 16th update -here-
According to USA Today, Volcanic ash from the Iceland volcano could disrupt air travel in both Britain and Germany in the next few days. The British Department of Transport said there was a risk that parts of British airspace could be closed beginning Sunday and those problems could continue through Tuesday. The predictions are based on the continuing eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokul volcano and current wind and weather conditions.

The Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland shows little sign of ending an eruption that's causing havoc again in European airspace.... celebrities and media arriving in the French Riviera for the Cannes film festival now may have to arrive by boat, with the plume currently hanging over the Mediterranean. However, shifting winds could possibly spare European air travel by the weekend.
The ash cloud emanating from the Iceland volcano is ever changing in form and color, from dove grey to anthracite to brown... and sometimes even blueish when sulfur droplets are present. The form is dependent on the eruption intensity but also on the stability of the surrounding atmosphere. Unstable conditions favour an unsteady plume, even looping, but during high stability acessory clouds tend to acompany the plume, which then forms a billowing sheet downwind affecting visilibity and weather patterns thousands of km away.
