Can the plane take off in thunderstorm weather?

The plane can take off normally in rainy days. Unless it rains heavily, the rain has no effect on the take-off of modern civil airliners. The reason why the flight can't take off normally is because of cumulonimbus clouds at high altitude or strong convective weather in the air.

In case of moderate rain or light rain, the plane usually takes off normally. If it rains, the runway visual range cannot reach the minimum value, the runway water depth exceeds 3 mm, and there are strong and low-altitude wind shear, thunderstorm or downburst, cumulonimbus clouds, etc. The plane can't take off normally.

The influence of rainy days on airplanes

Rainy days have a certain impact on airplanes, especially thunderstorms, which often cause airplanes to be delayed and delay the flight time of other airplanes.

There are many reasons that affect the take-off of aircraft, such as the adjustment of flight information, bad weather such as snowy days and rainy days, or cities with severe smog, which will also affect the take-off of aircraft; Like light rain or moderate rain, the plane will take off directly. If it rains harder, it can't take off.

Thunderstorm weather can not take off, because the plane is a metal fuselage, which is easy to attract lightning, which will affect the safety of passengers, and heavy rain may make the engine stall; So, don't worry when the plane stops taking off because of the weather. This is also for the safety of passengers. Choosing high-speed rail for the same travel mode can avoid the loss caused by delay.
