Weather Briefing
VFRSanya Phoenix International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 5,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 5000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°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 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain, Heavy Showers Rain, Light Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 04:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 16:00Z and 22:00Z.
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.

About Sanya Phoenix International Airport
Overview
Sanya Phoenix International Airport serves the southernmost city of Hainan Province, China, positioned near the tropical coastal region. As a large international airport with significant infrastructure, it supports both commercial passenger traffic and strategic regional aviation needs for this southeastern maritime province.
Flying Conditions
Located at a low elevation of 92 ft MSL, the airport experiences tropical maritime climate conditions with potential for variable wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate humidity and potential convective weather typical of coastal southern Chinese environments, which can influence approach and departure strategies.
Notable Features
The airport features a single substantial runway (08/26) measuring 11,155 feet constructed with concrete surface, providing extensive operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types. Its geographical coordinates at 18.302900, 109.412003 place it in a coastal region with potential maritime meteorological influences that could affect local atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
The runway's significant length of 11,155 feet allows for comprehensive approach options with good performance margins for commercial and potentially military aircraft. Runway orientation (08/26) suggests wind considerations from easterly and westerly directions will be primary factors in approach and departure planning.
