The weather condition that contributed to the Hindenburg disaster was **static electricity from a storm**. On May 6, 1937, as the Hindenburg was attempting to land at Naval Air Station Lakehurst in New Jersey, it encountered a thunderstorm, which resulted in static electricity that likely ignited the hydrogen gas used to lift the airship, leading to the catastrophic fire.
