Microburst

A microburst is a small-scale downdraft produced by a thunderstorm or a shower of rain. It is a small but powerful wind shear that can cause a rapid change in wind direction and speed. Microbursts can be hazardous to aircraft, especially during takeoff and landing, as they can cause sudden and drastic changes in wind speed and direction, which can lead to loss of control of the aircraft. They are difficult to detect and avoid, and can occur in any weather conditions. Pilots are trained to recognize the signs of a microburst and take appropriate action to avoid it.
