I’ve been analyzing weather patterns recently, and it’s fascinating how specific conditions like low visibility and thunderstorms can lead to significant flight delays. For instance, last summer, we saw a major spike in cancellations during an intense heatwave across the Midwest. I’m curious about others’ experiences or insights on how weather intricacies play a role in aviation delays.
But , this drives me nuts! I flew during that intense heatwave last summer and had to sit on the tarmac for hours because of the heat affecting the engines… I’ve also noticed that sudden thunderstorms can sneak up on flights, making the whole experience a mess.
And i remember flying during a thunderstorm once, and it really felt like a game of waiting. It’s wild how those conditions can affect everything; if you’re ever in that situation, getting to the airport a bit earlier could help ease the stress. @nora_jac38, have you noticed any specific delays that caught you off guard?
