For years, we've offered turbulence forecasts up to 42 hours in advance. But frequent flyers kept asking: Can you go further?
So, over the past year, we pushed the limits to see just how far ahead we could look while still being reasonably accurate. The result? Our new long-range turbulence forecasts and maps, extending up to 120 hours—that's five days!
We wanted to be sure this extended outlook truly held up, so we built Drift, a tool that tracks how our forecast evolves over those five days. You can see for yourself, any time, how things are trending and judge our accuracy—even before you decide to subscribe to our new Navigator maps.
How do we do it? We produce a specialized turbulence layer and a storm layer, then carefully track how weather patterns shift over the course of five days. This lets us offer a high-resolution forecast that's as accurate as possible for planning safer, smoother flights, worldwide.
We're excited to help you plan your journeys—whether it's tomorrow, or days from now. Enjoy the extra peace of mind!
