Thunderstorms cause flight delays regularly. Suvarnabhumi sits in a flood-prone area east of Bangkok. The 2011 floods came close to the airport perimeter.

Cool season (November–February) is the most comfortable for travel (25–32°C) with lower humidity and good flying weather. Haze from agricultural burning occasionally reduces visibility in March–April.
