Weather Briefing

VFR

Fukui Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 30,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (10°) at 9 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 30,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

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 Fukui Airport

Overview

Fukui Airport serves the Fukui Prefecture region in central Japan, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the local area. Located at 36.142799, 136.223999, this medium-sized airport sits at a low elevation of 19 feet mean sea level, making it well-integrated with the surrounding terrain.

Flying Conditions

The airport's single runway 18/36 measures 4,329 feet long with an asphalt surface, which is suitable for smaller aircraft operations. Given its coastal regional location, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences that could generate variable wind conditions, particularly during seasonal transition periods.

Notable Features

The airport's modest elevation and relatively short runway suggest it primarily supports regional and general aviation operations. Its geographical positioning in central Japan implies potential interactions with surrounding terrain and potential localized meteorological variations that could impact flight planning and approach strategies.

Approach Considerations

With a single runway oriented 18/36, pilots should prepare standard approach procedures aligned with the runway's longitudinal axis. The airport's low elevation and asphalt surface provide straightforward operational parameters, though standard preflight weather and terrain assessments remain crucial for safe navigation.
