Weather Briefing

MVFR

Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (40°) at 6 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport

Overview

Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport serves the Quanzhou metropolitan area in Fujian Province, China. Located at coordinates 24.796587, 118.588883, this medium-sized airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the regional economy. The airport supports commercial passenger and cargo operations in southeastern China.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a low elevation of 39 feet mean sea level, the airport experiences moderate coastal climate conditions typical of southeastern China. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and visibility variations associated with the coastal environment. The single concrete runway (03/21) measuring 8,530 feet offers substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for most commercial aircraft.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical positioning near the coast suggests potential for maritime weather influences and wind variations. Its single runway (03/21) is oriented to accommodate prevailing wind patterns in the region. The low elevation and concrete surface provide relatively stable operational conditions for most aircraft types.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21's substantial 8,530-foot length provides flexibility for approach and landing procedures. Pilots should conduct standard pre-flight weather assessments, particularly noting potential coastal wind shifts. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual landing techniques are applicable given the airport's moderate elevation and runway configuration.
