    Convective SIGMETs are issued every hour at 55 minutes past the hour, regardless of weather conditions. The following conditions are included in a routinely issued Convective SIGMET: An area of thunderstorms affecting 3,000 square miles or greater, with thunderstorms affecting at least 40% of the area.

    Similarly, what is the difference between Sigmet and convective Sigmet? Convective SIGMETs are for thunderstorms. SIGMETs last for 2 hours, so you may have to wait the weather out for 2 hours at a time. Like AIRMETs, SIGMETs are issued for either actual or forecasted weather conditions. “Outlook” SIGMETs are just that: a prediction.

    Simply so, how often are AIRMETs and SIGMETs issued?

    AIRMETs are routinely issued for six-hour periods beginning at 0145Z during Daylight Saving Time and at 0245Z during Standard Time. AIRMETS are also amended as necessary due to changing weather conditions or issuance/cancellation of a SIGMET.

    Can you fly in a convective Sigmet?

    Great question, and the short answer is yes, you absolutely can legally fly through a convective SIGMET… unless your specific operating/military regulations prohibit it.
