Weather Briefing
VFRJieyang Chaoshan International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 10 knots. Runway 04/22 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3300 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 08:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 20:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
