View live forecastTurbulence on the JFK → LHR route
Jet-stream exposure on this corridor is significant. Long mid-latitude legs mean clear-air turbulence is the dominant source of bumps, typically encountered at cruise altitude. Flying eastbound, aircraft usually benefit from tailwinds near the jet core, which trims flight time - but the edges of the jet are where clear-air turbulence most often sits.
Calmest season: Late spring to early autumn (May-September). The oceanic track sees its strongest jet-stream activity in the northern winter (Nov-Mar), when winds aloft are fastest and clear-air turbulence is more frequent.
