Planes experiencing more turbulence due to climate change

In the North Atlantic the total annual duration of severe turbulence increased by 55% from 1979 to 2020.

Aeroplanes are experiencing more turbulence than they did in previous decades because of climate change, new research has shown.

Clear-air turbulence, which can appear unexpectedly and in extreme cases damage aircraft and injure passengers, has been found to have increased in various regions across the world.
