What precipitation should a flight encounter when overcast cirrus cloud is reported along the route?
A flight passing through overcast cirrus clouds may encounter light precipitation such as drizzle or very light rain.

Pilots should be prepared for the possibility of minimal precipitation when flying through these clouds.
How cold is the outside temperature flying at 36000 feet?
At 36,000 feet, the outside air temperature is typically around -56 degrees Celsius (-69 degrees Fahrenheit). This temperature can vary depending on the specific atmospheric conditions and location. Pilots and aircraft systems are designed to withstand these extreme temperatures at high altitudes.
What role does the jet stream play in influencing weather patterns and air travel?
The jet stream is a fast-flowing, narrow band of air in the upper atmosphere that influences weather patterns and air travel. It can steer weather systems, such as storms, and affect the speed and direction of aircraft flying in it. Pilots often use the jet stream to save time and fuel on long flights by flying with or against its strong winds.
