Weather Briefing
VFRLabasa Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 3.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 10 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,800 ft (TCU), scattered at 4,800 ft. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
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.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Labasa Airport
Overview
Labasa Airport serves the northern region of Vanua Levu island in Fiji, providing essential regional air connectivity. Located at 44 feet above mean sea level with coordinates -16.4667, 179.3400, this medium-sized airport supports local transportation needs with its single asphalt runway measuring 3,507 feet.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Labasa Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 86% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The airport experiences consistent easterly winds averaging 9.2 knots, with temperatures ranging between 20°C and 35°C. Pilots can expect excellent visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal occurrences of reduced meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's runway 13/31 is oriented to align perfectly with the prevailing easterly wind, with 100% wind favorability. Crosswinds are minimal, averaging just 3.9 knots. The geographical location in the South Pacific presents typical island aviation characteristics, with potential for rapid weather changes typical of tropical maritime environments.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should prioritize runway 13/31 given its excellent wind alignment. September, October, and December represent the most consistently stable flying months, offering optimal meteorological conditions. The airport's low elevation and predictable wind patterns generally support straightforward approach and landing procedures.
