It’s not just about the weather.

The behavior of liquids or saturated steam, rushing through pipes at high velocity, is chaotic. Interior erosion of piping, such as those in power plants, occasionally rupture without warning because of the difficulty in predicting where such erosion will occurr. People die becuase of these accidents, mostly due to the very high temperatures of the water or saturated steam.

In my experience, with all things being equal, where you have turbulence you will have a failure. There a lot of things in a piping system that can cause turbulence
