Strong thunderstorms over Bahrain Airport force planes to change course to Dammam Airport

Weather of Arabia - Bahrain is witnessing an activity of thunderclouds raining heavily, and because of this great activity of thunder clouds at Bahrain Airport, some of the planes headed to the alternative airport (Dammam Airport) and others waited at different altitudes.

Clouds that contain thunderstorms are a source of concern to birds, as they can hide within them severe turbulence and strong vertical movements of air currents, ice and hail, and thunderstorms.

This is why pilots avoid flying through these clouds if they can be avoided, and flights are sometimes rerouted due to dangerous weather patterns such as these clouds, and this results in increased flight time and higher costs due to the consumption of more fuel.
