1 Weather Report Made Eisenhower Delay D-Day By 24 Hours

As the planned June 5, 1944 date for the Normandy invasion approached, SHAEF chief meteorologist Group Captain James Stagg warned Eisenhower that conditions would be far too rough for a landing, with high winds and heavy seas expected to make an amphibious assault disastrous. Eisenhower made the difficult decision to postpone the invasion by twenty-four hours based on Stagg's forecast. Stagg's team then identified a narrow window of improved weather for June 6th, and Eisenhower gave the final order to proceed. German meteorologists, working with less advanced data, had predicted continued poor weather for the following days, leading several senior German commanders to be away from their posts when the invasion actually began.
