• Can rain delay a flight?

Yes, rain can potentially delay a flight. Rainy weather is hazardous for flying due to reduced visibility and the potential for turbulence. Airports may have to close or have traffic controllers limit the number of planes that can be in the air at once. Also, depending on the severity of the weather, pilots may forgo flying for safety reasons.
