Weather Briefing
MVFRYangyang International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist, Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 20:00Z and 22:00Z.
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.

About Yangyang International Airport
Overview
Yangyang International Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Gangwon Province, South Korea, serving the northeastern coastal region. Situated at an elevation of 241 feet MSL with coordinates 38.061298, 128.669006, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Its single runway (15/33) extends 8,202 feet and is constructed of concrete, supporting various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 78.4% of observations indicating clear weather. Prevailing westerly winds averaging 9 knots characterize the airport's wind profile, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -11°C to 28°C, with an average of 9.6°C, suggesting potential need for seasonal aircraft performance considerations.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location suggests potential for dynamic wind conditions and marine weather influences. Runway 15/33 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and an average crosswind of only 6.6 knots. The low incidence of reduced visibility (MVFR/IFR conditions at 19.5% combined) indicates generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
Winter months (November, December, January) offer the most consistent VFR conditions for operations. Pilots should anticipate westerly winds and prepare for potential temperature-related performance adjustments. The single runway's substantial 8,202-foot length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios.
