Weather Briefing
VFRCat Bi International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 9 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 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: Thunderstorm Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain, Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 21:00Z and 02:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 11:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 14:00Z 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.

About Cat Bi International Airport
Overview
Cat Bi International Airport serves the major port city of Haiphong in northern Vietnam, providing critical air transportation infrastructure for the region. Located at 6 ft mean sea level, the airport supports medium-scale aviation operations with its single 10,007 ft asphalt runway (07/25).
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable VFR conditions at Cat Bi, with 78.5% of observations indicating clear flying weather. Wind patterns are consistently from the northeast at an average of 5.4 knots, with temperatures ranging from 10°C to 36°C and a mean of 22.8°C. September through November offer the most stable and predictable flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's low elevation of 6 ft MSL and coastal location in Haiphong suggests minimal terrain challenges for approach and departure. Winds remain relatively moderate, with maximum recorded speeds of 20 knots and only 1.6% calm wind periods. Runway 07/25 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 3.3 knots.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25 provides consistent wind alignment, making it suitable for most approach scenarios. With high visibility averages around 10 statute miles and negligible fog occurrences, instrument approaches are generally straightforward. Pilots should anticipate northeast wind components and prepare for stable approach conditions during peak months.
