The troublesome Iceland volcano Eyjafjallajökull is acting-up yet again, with no end in sight to the current eruption... and winds now shifting the Iceland volcano ash plume towards the UK and continental Europe. Over thirty earthquakes where felt in Iceland yesterday as well.
The British Department for Transport said that airports across the UK could be closed from today until Tuesday as the cloud of ash being thrown into the atmosphere by the Iceland volcano is carried over the British Isles by the wind. UK's air traffic control service NATS would announce airspace restrictions as they became necessary. Airlines were advising passengers last night to check on their websites and with airports before starting their journeys. German officials also said that the ash plume could cancel flights there as well, and with Frankfurt as an international hub, that spells trouble.

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.
Iceland volcano May 14 update maps linked at the UK Met Office below shows where the plume is most likely headed today, according to the Icelandic authorities- although the cloud is headed straight-out to the North Atlantic now, far from continental Europe:

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.
This Iceland volcano May 13 update maps linked at the UK Met Office below shows where the plume is most likely headed today, according to the Icelandic authorities:
