Will the plane be delayed or cancelled because of the weather after the stop?

Yes, there will be a temporary emergency landing. In case of delay or cancellation, the airline will make reasonable arrangements and compensation for passengers. When the weather improves, the airline will arrange flights to take off.

Bad weather is a common cause of flight delay, which will lead to large-scale flight delay or even cancellation. Wind, clouds, rain, ice, snow, fog and other meteorological conditions will affect flight.

The influence of wind on flight

Wind is closely related to flight, and planes take off and land. Like flying on the air route, the influence of wind must also be taken into account. The wind is erratic, and the plane will not only encounter downwind or headwind in flight, but also often encounter crosswind. The crosswind will change the flight direction of the plane, and if it is not corrected in time, it will make the plane deviate from its destination. When the plane takes off and lands in the crosswind, it will not only move forward, but also move in the crosswind direction. If it is not corrected in time, it will deviate from the runway direction.

Wind shear is the most likely cause of flight accidents. Wind shear is a common atmospheric phenomenon, which is a sudden change of wind direction and speed in the horizontal or vertical direction, which will cause a sudden change of flight altitude and flight attitude of aircraft. Wind shear is especially harmful when the plane takes off or lands, because the plane is low in altitude and slow in speed. Wind shear is called the "invisible killer" of aircraft because of its great harm and difficult observation.

The influence of clouds on flight

A great influence of cloud on flight is that it will block the driver's line of sight, affect flight, and may also cause the plane to get lost or other flight accidents.

In addition, pilots flying in the clouds, because they can't see the heavens and the earth, are prone to flight illusion, leading to mental tension. If it is not handled properly, it is also prone to flight accidents.

The influence of rain on flight

Due to the advanced equipment of modern aircraft, the average intensity of rainfall will not have much impact on flight. However, if the rainfall is too heavy, the pilot's line of sight may be blocked. Moreover, continuous heavy rain is likely to cause water accumulation on the runway. If the drainage is not timely, the plane will not be able to land.

Thunderstorms on the route pose a great threat to the aircraft. Thunderstorms are usually accompanied by lightning. If the plane is directly hit by lightning, the communication and navigation equipment on board will fail or be damaged, and the body may be damaged in severe cases. Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is necessary to detour, return or alternate to the nearby airport to avoid the thunderstorm area. This will cause the plane to fail to reach its destination on time, resulting in flight delays.

Influence of snow and ice on flight

Ice and snow will cause ice and snow on the runway. Snow and ice reduce the friction between the aircraft tires and the runway, making it difficult for the aircraft to keep its direction on the runway and easily rush out of the runway; Heavy snow will also affect the pilot's line of sight; If the snow falling on the fuselage and wings of an aircraft is not removed in time, it may freeze, destroy the streamline of the aircraft, increase the resistance of the aircraft in the air, and also affect the stability and operability of the aircraft and the flight safety.

For the sake of safety, in the case of heavy snow, flights have to be delayed or even cancelled.

Influence of fog on flight

Fog is equivalent to clouds generated on the ground and is one of the main reasons for flight delay. If the airport is shrouded in dense fog, the pilot's line of sight will be blocked, which will seriously affect the take-off and landing of the aircraft.
