Rainy season in eastern china is the worst

yeah i mildly dislike rainy season here.

Why? cus the weather is literally unpredictable (tysm mother nature, now can we pls get some sun after a week of consecutive rain?). It gets so bad that the flight's alternate needs an alternate.

Enough yapping, enjoy these shots I took over these last few weeks across Eastern China :smiley:


Juneyao Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner | B-20DT “Chinese Peony (梦旅生花)” special colours + “100th B787 for China” sticker

Approaching RW16L @ ZSPD when the sun was still around (it started to pour 30 mins later)


Kalitta Air Boeing 747-400ERF | N710CK “Biill Clements

On short final for RW31 @ ZSNB from Anchorage just as the rain started to chill out


Air Macau Airbus A321-200 | B-MCD “Silk Road (丝路號)

And this was 1 hour later after Connie landed… All it took for the weather to clear up was for me to go to the other side of the rw


China Southern Airlines Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner | B-209X

Back to RW31 we go and I swear to god the weather just hates me when I come to this spot

so i guess it isn’t just us in the eastern region. But now that the rain season’s over we need to prepare for both the heat waves and typhoon season

Nice pictures! Same stuff happens here in the DR. Santo Domingo pretty much floods every time it rains hard, which is almost every day in the summer.
