Weather Briefing
MVFRFrancisco Bangoy International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 26,000 feet and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 9000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°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. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 04:00Z and 10:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Francisco Bangoy International Airport
Overview
Francisco Bangoy International Airport serves as the primary aviation gateway for Davao City, located in the southern Philippines. Situated at 7.125520°N, 125.646004°E, this large airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the Mindanao region. The airport's elevation of 96 feet above mean sea level positions it in a relatively low-lying coastal area.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect tropical maritime weather conditions typical of the southern Philippines, with potential for significant convective activity and periodic precipitation. The airport's coastal location may introduce variable wind conditions, particularly during seasonal transition periods. Wind patterns can be expected to interact with the runway's 05/23 orientation, which spans 9,842 feet of asphalt pavement.
Notable Features
The airport's substantial runway length of 9,842 feet accommodates a wide range of aircraft types, from regional turboprops to larger international aircraft. Its geographic position near the Davao Gulf suggests potential for maritime-influenced meteorological conditions and localized wind shear. The surrounding terrain likely includes a mix of urban and coastal landscapes that could impact local atmospheric dynamics.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations should account for the airport's single runway configuration and coastal environment. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components given the runway's 05/23 orientation. Standard instrument approach procedures will be influenced by the airport's relatively low elevation and proximity to maritime terrain features.
