Heyy guys, I am in the 6th form and planning to do aeronautical engineering next year in uni and I wanted to ask a question.
Recently I flew home from turkey and just after take of the pilot announced that on the way down to turkey [from london, england] they had come across some large storm clouds and experienced some turbulence and the clouds might still be over the alps on our return flight, when flying over the alps I could not see any clouds in the slightest but we did experience clear air turbulence [CAT]which was very heavy and violent indeed [luggage falling from overhead], Could the storm clouds we expected to hit be related to the CAT???
answers would be appreciated
