Nimbus clouds cause turbulence in flights.

July 23, 2017 11:47pm CST
India is presently facing monsoon season. Most states in the country including Gujarat and West Bengal are facing flood situations. When Indian flights like Go Air travel from Ahmedabad to Kolkata, they face the turbulence in air. The flights shake and passengers are informed not to open their seat belts and go to the toilets for most part of the journeys. Credit goes to the pilots to fly the aircrafts with care and ensure smoothness for the passengers. The nimbus clouds engulf the flights creating turbulence.

What is the reason for the shakeness? Is it Air Gap?

Thanks S George, the clouds hit the flights. The wings shake. The air pressures at such heights alter. The flight to avoid the turbulence either goes to around 35000 to 40000 feet above sea level or sometimes come down. That results in shakes.
