San Francisco, United States
Major gateway for transpacific travel and Silicon Valley.
Transpacific routes cross the jet stream over the Pacific. Coastal fog rarely causes turbulence but can affect visibility. Flights over the Sierra Nevada may experience mountain wave turbulence.

Turbulence intensity varies by season and route. Generally, winter months see stronger jet stream activity, while summer can bring convective turbulence from thunderstorms. Check our real-time forecasts for your specific flight date.
Our forecasts use real atmospheric data including wind shear analysis, jet stream positioning, and atmospheric stability calculations. While no forecast is perfect, our physics-based approach provides reliable turbulence predictions for flight planning.
