Weather Briefing

VFR

Beijing Daxing International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (350°) at 6 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 26°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 08:00Z and 11:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.
