Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Rain, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain, Mist between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Fukui Airport

Overview

Fukui Airport serves the Fukui Prefecture region in central Japan, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the local area. Located at 36.142799, 136.223999, this medium-sized airport sits at a low elevation of 19 feet mean sea level, making it well-integrated with the surrounding terrain.

Flying Conditions

The airport's single runway 18/36 measures 4,329 feet long with an asphalt surface, which is suitable for smaller aircraft operations. Given its coastal regional location, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences that could generate variable wind conditions, particularly during seasonal transition periods.

Notable Features

The airport's modest elevation and relatively short runway suggest it primarily supports regional and general aviation operations. Its geographical positioning in central Japan implies potential interactions with surrounding terrain and potential localized meteorological variations that could impact flight planning and approach strategies.

Approach Considerations

With a single runway oriented 18/36, pilots should prepare standard approach procedures aligned with the runway's longitudinal axis. The airport's low elevation and asphalt surface provide straightforward operational parameters, though standard preflight weather and terrain assessments remain crucial for safe navigation.
