What Does It Feel Like Flying Through a Cloud?

Published in Weather Conditions 2 mins read

Flying through a cloud often feels like you're simply flying through fog.

In most cases, you barely notice anything unusual except for the reduced visibility. The cloud or fog limits how far you can see, similar to driving in a heavy mist. According to our reference, if the cloud is particularly thick, you might feel a bit of wetness on your skin as the tiny water droplets or ice crystals touch you.

Here's a breakdown of what you might expect:

  • Reduced Visibility: The primary sensation is a loss of visibility, as the cloud obscures the landscape.
  • Slight Wetness: In denser clouds, you might feel a slight dampness as you pass through the cloud droplets.
  • No Significant Resistance: You won't experience any noticeable resistance or turbulence simply by flying through a cloud.
  • Visual Change: The visual experience will change from clear visibility to a foggy or misty appearance.


Aspect Experience
Visibility Limited, similar to fog
Touch Possibly slight wetness, if dense
Resistance Little to no noticeable change
Overall Feel Generally uneventful; like flying in fog


Flying through a cloud isn't a dramatic event like in movies; it's more about a visual and potentially a slight tactile change. It's essentially passing through a condensed area of water vapor in the atmosphere.
