How often is an FA weather forecast issued?

Flight Attendants (FAs) receive weather forecasts several times throughout the day to ensure they are informed about any possible weather changes that could impact flight operations. Issuing a weather forecast 3 to 4 times a day allows for timely updates that can accommodate dynamic weather conditions. These frequent updates help ensure that FAs can prepare and inform passengers adequately about any weather-related concerns that may arise, thus enhancing safety and customer service.

The reason this frequency is optimal lies in the rapidly changing nature of weather, particularly in regions heavily trafficked by airlines or during certain times of year when weather patterns can shift quickly. Consequently, by receiving these forecasts multiple times daily, FAs can stay well-informed, ensuring better management of in-flight situations and overall operational efficiency.
