Can I fly when it rains and snows?

It can fly if it rains and snows, but it depends on the degree, which will affect the plane.

First of all, the plane will be affected by heavy snow, and the flight may be cancelled. The visibility of the airport is seriously reduced in snowy days, which affects the pilot's line of sight. Under normal circumstances, when the visibility is less than 800 meters, the flight crew can't land and take off normally due to the obstruction of sight, and the lower visibility may even lead to the inability to taxi. If it is not handled properly, it will easily lead to flight accidents. At this point, the airport had to be closed, resulting in flight delays or cancellations.

Second, it rains as long as there are no thunderclouds on the route. Because this cloud contains a lot of electric energy, it may pose a threat to flight safety. However, in this case, the airport and the tower will let the plane fly around the thunderstorm cloud or delay the take-off to ensure flight safety.
