Tampa International Airport serves the Tampa Bay area and is frequently affected by Florida's summer thunderstorm pattern, with lightning within the airport vicinity triggering ground crew shelter requirements and temporary halts to ramp operations. Tampa sits in a high-frequency lightning zone — some of the highest flash density rates in the US. The airport is also within the Atlantic hurricane season impact zone and has procedures for accelerated operations in advance of tropical storms.
