About Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport

Fort Lauderdale faces Florida weather with afternoon storms and hurricane exposure. Generally smooth between events.

Is Fort Lauderdale Airport turbulent?

Fort Lauderdale faces identical weather challenges as nearby Miami: hurricanes and daily summer thunderstorms. The airport sits in prime hurricane territory with peak risk August-October. Sea breeze convergence creates predictable afternoon storms from May through September. The flat South Florida terrain offers no protection from weather systems.

  • Prime hurricane territory, peak risk August-October
  • Daily summer thunderstorms from sea breeze convergence
  • Similar weather patterns to Miami
How do hurricanes affect Fort Lauderdale?

When hurricanes threaten, airlines cancel flights 1-2 days in advance. The airport closes when conditions become unsafe and may remain closed for 24-48 hours during storm passage. South Florida's flat terrain means storm surge is a major concern. Recovery depends on infrastructure damage assessment.

When is the best time to fly from Fort Lauderdale?

November through April is dry season with minimal storm risk. Summer afternoon thunderstorms are predictable, so morning flights are more reliable. Hurricane season (June-November) carries the highest disruption risk, peaking August-October. Book flexible tickets during hurricane season.

Is turbulence at Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale?

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
