Reply to comment by Milk_Dud in How does climate and climate change impact atmospheric turbulence? by MoiJaimeLesCrepes

This is so interesting - thanks for the info! Somehow getting more information makes me more at ease. I travel pretty regularly between Europe and South America - has there been a noticeable increase in turbulence or unexpected weather patterns lately? Just curious if climate change is mussing up our pilots as well.

I don't think so. With so much variance in weather, el and la Nina years etc, it's hard to really say definitely. Don't think anyone is tracking aviation weather related trends like this, since the ride quality and effect on operation is so subjective
