Weather Briefing
VFRMatsu Nangan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 8 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,600 ft, few at 3,000 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions.
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 Matsu Nangan Airport
Overview
Matsu Nangan Airport serves the Matsu Islands, a strategically located archipelago off the coast of Fujian Province, Taiwan. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Nangan region, supporting both civilian and potential military aviation requirements. Its medium airport classification indicates significant regional importance for transportation and connectivity.
Flying Conditions
Located at 232 feet above mean sea level, Matsu Nangan Airport experiences maritime climate conditions typical of coastal island environments. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations and potential marine layer developments due to the airport's proximity to the ocean. Seasonal weather patterns can significantly influence flight operations and approach strategies.
Notable Features
The airport features a single concrete runway (03/21) measuring 5,180 feet in length, which provides adequate operational capacity for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographical coordinates (26.159656, 119.958376) position the airport in a region with complex terrain and potential wind shear considerations. The island's coastal location suggests potential for rapidly changing meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 offers a relatively straightforward approach profile given the airport's moderate elevation. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and strength, as the single runway configuration may require precise handling during crosswind conditions. Standard instrument approach procedures and local meteorological briefings are recommended for safe navigation to Matsu Nangan Airport.
