The weather can easily affect human activities. Therefore, it is very important to plan our activities so that the weather does not affect the safety of them. Transport is one of those human activities where information on current and predicted weather conditions is very important. All modes of transport are dependent on information of current and predicted weather especially in the period of transportation process. Precise weather information is of vital importance for air transport. This paper deals with dangerous weather phenomena that affect air transportation in a very negative way and could also lead to termination of air transport services. More specifically, the paper deals with thunderstorm phenomena that often occur at Slovak airports in the summer season and compares their occurrence with the Climatic atlas of Slovakia.
