Embedded CBs (cumulonimbus clouds) are the worst for aviation, because they’re powerful and hidden. Pilots use weather radars to go around them, always keeping a good margin. This one is probably a dozen kilometres high and rather powerful. Flying 400 km above Earth we don’t need to take any notice of them… But did you know there is such a thing as space weather? http://www.esa.int/spaceweather
