Re: 8th Air Force weather

Something called the Alps.

However, you may simply be wrong in your presumption. The 15th AF was formed to provide the Middle East with a strategic bomber force, allowing it to hit targets out of range of bases in England. It provided an alternative approach to attack targets in Germany, thus stretching the limited German defences. Perhaps not least, England was full! These three reasons are probably sufficient, without considering weather.
