Do airline pilots try to avoid turbulence? How can you tell if your flight has been rerouted due to weather conditions or other factors?

So yes they scope it out a lot,a lot,a lot.They can always ask for new ATC vectors or ways around the storm.

Yes they do especially if they have been briefed by the Dispatcher working his or her flight.The instruments now in the cockpit are very good and getting better all the time.Pilots can dance around thunderstorms and BIG THUNDERbumpers.

I once flew Las Vegas to Ft,Lauderdale and a stop in Pompano Beach.From just after the far east border of Texas,the Thunderbumpers and big clouds going up to 80000 feet were gray,very dark and you could tell very turbulent.The pilot flying the aircraft did a remarkable job dancing all around these huge,dark clouds.These are the ones that if you flew through,you’re aircraft could get torn apart.

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?
