Weather Briefing
VFRTottori Sand Dunes Conan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 7 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4300 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
