Why do planes encounter turbulence when passing to clouds?

Wind blowing in the clouds & pressures are too erratic moving beneath & over the wings


smoothsophie
It's the low pressure and high pressure air mixing together making "wind" in the clouds.

An airplane can encounter turbulence anywhere, Its an irregular motion while in the air, due to headwinds tailwinds, any kind of wind. It can be clear as day and there may be turbulence!

It's differences in air pressure at differing altitudes. A line of clouds could also be a line of a weather front, which will always be more turbulent. You can also hit turbulence in a clear sky as well. My dad (pilot and former FAA manager) calls them pockets of air.


Dr Why
Clouds have a natural air circulation, because warm air is always rising to the top of the cloud and cold air is always falling to the bottom of the cloud.


mandbturner3699
To my understanding, clouds re greater in mass than the clear air around them therefore they present more of a "barrier" through which the aircraft can pass.


TMLeaf Fan
Different types or levels of air pockets or air streams are known to cause turbulence.


peanutz
Cloud forms from the rising of warm air and with the presence of sufficient moisture. Therefore in a cloud formation you get uprising and falling air. So it is not all smooth air when you see cloud. Depending on how massive the cloud formation is, the turbulence rate will increase with size. So pilots will avoid massive cloud formations as the up and down drafts can be strong enough to even break the wings.

So if the plane is passing through clouds, there will be turbulents. That is why passengers are advised to be seated and belted when this need to pass through cloud which could not be circum-navigated.

turbulence comes from the cold and warm air exchange
