Will the thunderstorm weather at the destination affect the flight?

Thunderstorm weather at the destination will affect the flight.

1. When the flight does not take off, the long-term bad weather at the airport may cause the flight to be delayed or cancelled.

2. The flight has taken off, and there is bad weather when it arrives at the airport, which may lead to the alternate flight and further delay.

Even if the plane lands safely, the bad weather at the airport will affect the local traffic at the airport to some extent, bringing some inconvenience.

Every stage of aircraft take-off, landing and air flight will be affected by meteorological conditions. Wind, temperature and air pressure are all important meteorological factors affecting flight. The wind on the ground will directly affect the operation of the aircraft, and the wind at high altitude will affect the flight speed and fuel consumption of the aircraft on the route. Temperature can change the thrust of the engine, affect the airspeed indicator, take-off and landing distance and so on. When the temperature is higher than the standard atmospheric temperature, it will increase the take-off distance and climb time and reduce the aircraft load. Air pressure will affect the flying height of the plane. Due to the frequent changes of air pressure in various places, the indication error of air pressure altimeter is often caused. In addition, weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, low clouds, low visibility, low-level wind shear, atmospheric turbulence, air jet, bumps and icing directly threaten flight safety.
