Stormy Skies: Thunderstorms Disrupt Flight Operations

Imagine big storms rolling through the sky over the airport!

These storms bring strong winds and can change the direction of the wind which confuses the planes.

These storms cause planes to have to wait, go around, or even fly to a different airport to land.

Sometimes, this means many flights are delayed, causing a ripple effect that affects lots of people.

Scientists say these storms are the most difficult weather to handle for planes, and can even lead to accidents.
