Weather has become more extreme year round, causing travel disruptions. |
|||
Prepare for no electricity, dust storms out of nowhere, atypical torrential tropical rain, cities with unseasonal high high temperatures. Climate change is here. |

| Be sure to have your airline app for notifications and changes in your plane schedule, and family carry-on bags with everything you need, in case flight is delayed. | |||
| Another essential app for live flight information is FlightAware. | |||
| Traveling in Europe, weather also affects train travel. Get the app for your train schedule, so you have notifications for any change in schedule. | |||
Tips for October 2025: |
|||
Before and during your trip, check the weather conditions for your destination. In the United States, website weather.gov has most accurate information. |
|||
Do not use AI summaries for weather alerts, as there can be errors. (E.g. For tsunami warning in Hawaii, AI declared warning was over too soon.) |
