Weather Briefing
MVFRTsushima Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 10.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the variable directions at 6 knots with gusts to 16 knots.
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 23°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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 Tsushima Airport
Overview
Tsushima Airport serves the island of Tsushima, located between Japan and South Korea in the Korea Strait. Positioned at 213 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for the remote island region, supporting local and regional aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 85.5% of the time, with excellent overall visibility averaging 10 statute miles. Winds predominantly come from the west (270°) at an average of 7.9 knots, with temperatures ranging from -2°C to 32°C and an annual average of 15.2°C.
Notable Features
Tsushima Airport features a single asphalt runway (14/32) measuring 6,234 feet in length. The island's geographic position creates unique wind conditions, with a consistent westerly wind pattern and only 0.3% of observations showing calm winds, presenting predictable but potentially challenging crosswind scenarios.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32 demonstrates favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of just 4.7 knots. Pilots can expect the most consistent VFR conditions during November, January, and December, with minimal fog interference (0.1% of observations) and consistently good visibility.
