Do such events as storms or radar outages also force such diversions?
But it's nearly impossible to accurately model strong weather systems such as big storms or hurricanes, which include various cloud systems.
The IP65 certification provides improved water and dust resistance, enabling field workers to maintain their productivity in challenging scenarios, such as sand storms and heavy rain.
