Weather Briefing
LIFRFukushima Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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 Fukushima Airport
Overview
Fukushima Airport serves the Fukushima Prefecture in Japan, located in Sukagawa at an elevation of 1,221 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region, supporting both civil and potential regional aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Fukushima Airport demonstrate excellent VFR flying opportunities, with 79.3% of observations reporting favorable visual flight rules. The airport experiences a significant temperature range from -6°C to 31°C, with prevailing northerly winds averaging 7 knots and occasional gusts up to 21 knots. Winter months like November, December, and January offer the most consistent VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The single runway 01/19 measures 8,202 feet and is asphalted, providing substantial length for most aircraft operations. Its geographic position allows for consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions for the primary runway. The airport's elevation and inland location suggest potential for terrain-influenced wind patterns and potential thermal variations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate an average crosswind of 3.8 knots on runway 01/19, which is generally manageable for most aircraft. Visibility typically remains excellent at 10 statute miles, with only 5.4% of observations reporting fog conditions. The low frequency of instrument meteorological conditions (IFR and LIFR combined at 12.4%) indicates generally stable approach environments.
