Can planes land during thunderstorms?

Planes must land during thunderstorms, otherwise major accidents will occur when thunder and lightning are encountered in the sky. In addition, before taking off, the aircraft will first determine the weather of the day before flying. Generally, when there is thunder and lightning, it will not be in the sky, but will wait at the airport to fly.

It was precisely because of the thunder and lightning that day that the plane was waiting to fly, which is often referred to as "flight delay". “Of all factors that affect flight regularity, weather can be said to account for 70%-75%, and more than 70% of flight delays worldwide may be caused by weather.
