Weather Briefing
MVFRZhuhai Jinwan Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,400 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 12 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 500 ft, scattered at 1,400 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,400 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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. 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: Heavy Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 16:00Z 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.

About Zhuhai Jinwan Airport
Overview
Zhuhai Jinwan Airport serves the Zhuhai region in southern China, located near the special administrative region of Macau. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 23 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Pearl River Delta area. The airport features a substantial concrete runway 05/23 measuring 13,123 feet in length, capable of accommodating a wide range of aircraft.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for marine layer formations and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential visibility and wind shear challenges typical of subtropical maritime environments. The substantial runway length provides significant operational flexibility across diverse meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
Positioned at coordinates 22.006399, 113.375999, Zhuhai Jinwan Airport is situated in a complex geographical region with proximity to both coastal and urban terrain. The extensive 13,123-foot runway enables operations for larger commercial and potentially military aircraft. Its location in the Pearl River Delta suggests potential for complex local wind patterns and terrain-influenced meteorological interactions.
Approach Considerations
The runway orientation of 05/23 indicates potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variability given the airport's coastal positioning. The concrete runway's substantial length provides significant margin for diverse approach and landing scenarios across different aircraft types and weight classifications.
