Weather Briefing

MVFR

Jeonju (G 703) Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (180°) at 6 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 25 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Mist, Light Showers Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 03:00Z and 08:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.
