Weather Briefing

VFR

Trang Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (190°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

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 Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 08:00Z and 12:00Z.

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.

Situated at an elevation of 67 feet MSL, the airport provides essential regional aviation connectivity with a single runway (08/26) measuring 6,890 feet in length and constructed with asphalt surface.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions 85.1% of the time, with Marginal VFR conditions occurring 12% of observations. Average temperatures range from 20°C to 34°C, with a mean of 27.4°C. Wind patterns are consistently from the northeast at 45 degrees, averaging 5.3 knots with occasional peaks up to 18 knots, and calm conditions present 16.2% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport's low elevation and consistent weather patterns contribute to generally stable flying conditions. Crosswind components are minimal, averaging just 2.7 knots across observations.

Approach Considerations

January, December, and September represent the best months for VFR operations, offering the most consistent weather conditions. Pilots can expect excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with extremely rare occurrences of reduced visibility (less than 3 miles) and negligible fog presence (0.1% of observations). The runway's orientation and wind characteristics provide predictable approach and landing conditions.
