Density Altitude at Lodi (1O3)

Lodi sits at 60 ft, and even a typical July afternoon (92 °F) only lifts density altitude to about 2,207 ft — heat still trims performance, but the field rarely turns high-and-hot.

Frequently asked questions

How high does density altitude get at 1O3 in summer?

On a typical July afternoon — around 92 °F at the nearest NOAA normals station — density altitude at Lodi reaches roughly 2,207 ft at standard pressure. Hotter-than-normal days, low pressure, and humidity all push it higher, so run the day's actual numbers before flying.

What is the density altitude at 1O3 on an average day?

It swings with the seasons: from roughly −668 ft at the coldest month's average temperature to about 1,170 ft at the warmest month's — all from a constant field elevation of 60 ft. The month-by-month table above carries the full year.

What is the field elevation of Lodi?

60 ft MSL, from the FAA NASR airport record (28-day cycle effective 2026-08-06). The identifier is 1O3 (FAA), in Lodi, California.
