Every flight I go on I check Turbli before I do it to check out how much turbulence there will be (nervous flyer). Almost every single time I have checked it, it ends up being absurdly accurate. Then today when I was on a flight the pilot said that for the next 4 minutes there will be severe turbulence but after it should be smooth sailing. I looked at the clock and he was exactly right. How did he know? What instruments show this and how do they work?

A pilot is in contact with an air traffic controller on the ground during the flight. Lots of other airplanes have probably flown through the same area and told the on ground controller about the turbulence. That gets forwarded to the next guy that has to go through then they tell the passengers if they want. So it’s all accurate cause it’s all real time.
This information also gets uploaded to various websites for weather models and is public information, which I assume that Turbli website uses
