Weather Briefing
VFRSouth Bimini Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 27 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About South Bimini Airport
Overview
South Bimini Airport serves the Bahamian island of South Bimini, located in the western Bahamas approximately 50 miles east of Miami, Florida. As a medium-sized airport with a single 5,409-foot asphalted runway, it provides critical aviation access to this small but strategically positioned island in the Caribbean region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 10 feet mean sea level indicates minimal terrain variations and typically stable atmospheric conditions. Being situated in the Atlantic hurricane zone, pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather fluctuations, particularly during the June through November hurricane season that can significantly impact regional flying conditions.
Notable Features
South Bimini's runway orientation of 09/27 suggests the airport is aligned with predominant regional wind patterns. The island's coastal location means pilots can expect potential maritime meteorological influences, including sea breezes, variable wind conditions, and potential visibility challenges from marine layer developments.
Approach Considerations
With a single runway configuration, pilots should carefully assess wind direction and strength when planning approaches to runway 09 or 27. The airport's proximity to ocean environments requires standard maritime navigational awareness, particularly regarding potential wind shear and localized atmospheric changes typical of island airports.
