| Summary: | Abstract: Weather conditions always have a huge impact on air transport. Taking into
account global climate changes, which have a great influence on such conditions, this
problematic continues to be one of the most current research topics, especially in the context
of the above-mentioned field of transport. This article attempts to present the issue of the
Urban Heat Island (UHI) and its potential influence on air transport. The aspects of lightning
discharges and torrential rains, which are often accompanying them, were also discussed.
Additionally, infrastructural and procedural solutions reducing the negative effects of
unfavourable weather conditions are described.
