Climate change is increasingly affecting global supply chains. Hurricanes, heavy snowfalls, droughts and floods all increase the risk of delivery disruptions, transport downtime, and financial losses for businesses. International logistics is especially vulnerable to such fluctuations – even a minor delay in one part of the route can disrupt the entire supply chain.

How Weather Affects Logistics

Extreme weather conditions directly impact delivery times and route selection. Strong storms often shut down ports, disrupting sea freight operations. During winter, highways across Europe and Asia may be closed due to ice, creating problems for road freight. In summer, thunderstorms and hurricanes reduce safety and reliability for air cargo operations.

These factors complicate the organization of international transportation and require logistics companies to adopt new, adaptive strategies. Businesses must now plan deliveries with consideration of meteorological data, alternative routes, and flexible warehouse distribution.

Adaptation Measures of Logistics Companies

To minimize risks, modern transport and logistics companies are implementing a range of proactive measures:

• Forecasting and digitalization. The use of artificial intelligence and weather analytics allows companies to predict conditions and adjust routes in advance.
• Route flexibility. Developing backup delivery schemes enables quick response to extreme weather events.
• Partner networks. Reliable regional partners make it possible to redistribute cargo when needed.
• Multimodal logistics. Combining different modes of transport (sea + road, road + air) helps us to adapt to changing conditions in specific regions.
