About Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport

Toronto faces Great Lakes weather effects including lake-effect snow. Generally moderate turbulence from seasonal weather systems.

Is Toronto Pearson Airport turbulent?

Toronto experiences classic Great Lakes weather: lake-effect snow in winter and summer thunderstorms. Cold Arctic air passing over the relatively warm lake waters generates heavy, localized snowfall that can dump feet of snow on the airport while areas just miles away stay clear. Winter operations require extensive de-icing that causes delays.

  • Lake-effect snow can produce intense, localized snowfall
  • Aircraft must be de-iced before takeoff in freezing conditions
  • Summer thunderstorms develop along lake breeze boundaries
What is lake-effect snow?

When cold Arctic air flows across the relatively warm Great Lakes, it picks up moisture and dumps it as intense snowfall on the downwind shore. Toronto can receive heavy snow while areas just kilometers away get nothing. These events are hard to predict precisely and can shut down operations quickly.

When is the best time to fly from Toronto?

Late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer the most reliable conditions. Winter (December-March) brings lake-effect snow risk and cold-weather de-icing delays. Summer is generally good but afternoon thunderstorms occur. Build extra time for connections during winter travel.

Is turbulence at Toronto 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 Toronto?

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
