About Nanjing Lukou International Airport

Nanjing faces Yangtze River valley weather with summer heat and humidity. Typhoon remnants occasionally reach inland.

Is Nanjing Airport turbulent?

Nanjing sits on the Yangtze River in eastern China, sharing weather patterns with Shanghai. Summer brings hot, humid conditions with thunderstorms during the monsoon 'plum rain' season. Typhoons occasionally bring outer rainbands to the region. Winter fog can affect visibility in the Yangtze valley.

  • Located on the Yangtze River
  • 'Plum rain' monsoon season June-July
  • Occasional typhoon impacts from coastal storms
What is the 'plum rain' season?

The meiyu or 'plum rain' season occurs in June-July when a stationary front brings continuous rain to the Yangtze valley. This period sees the heaviest rainfall and most flight delays. Thunderstorms develop frequently during this season.

When is the best time to fly from Nanjing?

Autumn (September-October) offers dry, pleasant conditions. Spring (March-May) is variable but pleasant. Summer plum rain season and typhoon risk make it the most challenging period. Winter is cold with occasional fog.

Is turbulence at Nanjing dangerous?

No. Modern aircraft are designed to withstand forces far stronger than turbulence. While bumps can feel uncomfortable, they do not pose a safety risk. Pilots actively avoid rough air whenever possible. Learn more about turbulence

Best seats to reduce turbulence when flying from Nanjing?

Seats near the wings feel the least movement because they are closest to the aircraft's center of gravity. Seats at the back of the aircraft feel turbulence more strongly. Learn more about seat selection
