A2. 1) LAX-Sydney flight delayed 7 hours due to late inbound aircraft. Once onboard pillot warned we'd have to avoid 3 tropical storms. "Adequate fuel." Couldn't avoid. Plane shook reminiscent of Tom Hank's Cast Away. https://t.co/ZEBY1V8532 #PTTravel

A2. 2) Could not have been more impressed by the Qantas crew. The last storm ended up doing considerable damage to Brisbane. https://t.co/kxA4N1zBQW #PTTravel

A storm we didn't see coming was sudden snow in New York City in March.
The day before and a couple of days after were clear and sunny.
We had layers of clothing and waterproofs so we were ok. Decided to continue sightseeing

A3 #pttravel June is the wet season in Vietnam. I only encountered rain in the South, the farther North it was just hot & humid. I took these in the Mekong Delta. It was hot in the morning, by the afternoon it was storming.

A4 #PTTravel Short answer; don't! Long answer Take local advice; it could be that the bad weather is short-lived, and has reasonable interludes between. Some places. you can just about set your watch by the storms!

It depends on the kind of storm. I love thunderstorms 🌩 and am obsessed with lightening. However I hate when a storm endangers others #PTTravel

#pttravel A4: i've been known to choose my destinations based on weather. That is to say, I've chosen to go places when I have because it *wasn't* the wet season ....

A4- It's a gamble, but you can score some awesome deals if you visit a place during rainy season

This is the most 'electric place on earth' in #Venezuela. Incredible storm. Not sure how I'd feel being outside but what a performance to watch inside
