View live forecastTurbulence on the BKK → LHR route
The route crosses mid-latitudes where the polar jet can influence flight conditions, though exposure is shorter than on genuine long-haul crossings. The route crosses or passes near the Himalayas, Tien Shan / Pamirs, which can generate mountain-wave turbulence downwind when upper-level winds are strong.
Calmest season: Late spring to early autumn (May-September). Wind flowing over the Himalayas can generate mountain-wave turbulence that extends hundreds of kilometres downwind - most pronounced in the northern winter (Nov-Mar), when upper-level winds are strongest.
