Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 04:00Z and 10:00Z.
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.

About Haikou Meilan International Airport
Overview
Haikou Meilan International Airport serves as a primary aviation gateway for Hainan Province, located in southern China. Situated at an elevation of 75 feet MSL near Haikou city, this large international airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region. The airport supports both commercial passenger and cargo operations with its substantial infrastructure.
Flying Conditions
As an airport positioned in a tropical maritime climate, Haikou Meilan experiences significant seasonal wind variations that can impact flight operations. The airport's dual parallel runways (09/27 and 10/28), each measuring 11,811 feet in length, provide excellent operational flexibility for different wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential convective weather and tropical system influences typical of the coastal Hainan region.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic location at coordinates 19.934900, 110.459000 places it near the northern coast of Hainan Island, with relatively flat surrounding terrain. Both runways are constructed with concrete (CON) surfaces, offering stable ground conditions for aircraft movements. The substantial runway lengths support operations for wide-body commercial aircraft and provide significant margin for safe landings and takeoffs.
Approach Considerations
Given the airport's parallel runway configuration, air traffic can efficiently manage arrivals and departures with multiple approach options. The 11,811-foot runway lengths accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and provide extensive safety margins for landing and takeoff procedures. Pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind conditions due to the airport's coastal positioning.
