I'm not talking about stuff like wind making it so Jason & Amy couldn't do the fast forward in Vienna. Has it ever been raining or snowing so hard teams couldn't get flights in and/or production had to scrap planned tasks? I'm watching S28 and noticed it raining during the Shenzhen leg and made me think how TAR seems to have remarkably good weather most of the time.

S24 had legs moved from The Philippines moved to Malaysia/Sri Lanka due to flooding
S19 had Thailand 2 replace a leg in Laos sue to landslides
Lemontail:
TAR 8 had a leg that was cancelled because of a hurricane.
TAR 1 had a leg that was delayed by a Tunisian sandstorm.
Kamineko:
From the previous answers, I come up with a new question. Does the production always have a backup plan or two for a whole leg, just in case that they're unable to race there? I mean, how can they plan the whole logistics of a whole leg to another location if something happen so sudden?
I don't know if they can predict the Laos' landslide or the flooding in Philippines if they're already filming. :duno:
theschnauzers:
Production has backup legs planned and ready to implement on very short notice. TAR 11 in Africa made a last minute substitution because it proved impossible to get teams to an inland pit stop in Tanzania, following a series of flight delays, and over bookings in the midst of the Hajji from African countries to Saudi Arabia. This is shown by the initial 24 hour plus lead one team had to reach a port/dock to the island of Zanzibar.
I know there were others but that’s one which is pretty apparent.

I wonder if TAR US uses past legs from international versions when this happens for reference. One of the Malaysian legs in S24 has a lot of tasks lifted from a leg in TAR Asia. Given the leg was likely a makeup for the Philippines flooding it made me make this connection. I stumbled upon it when designing my quarantine TAR legs in Malaysia and had just seen S24 a few days earlier.
