Weather Briefing
MVFRXi'an Xiguan Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,000 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist, Showers Rain, Light Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 05:00Z and 09:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Xi'an Xiguan Airport
Overview
Xi'an Xiguan Airport serves the metropolitan area of Xi'an in Shaanxi Province, China. Located at coordinates 34.376701, 109.120003, this medium airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region surrounding Xi'an, a historically significant city in northwestern China.
Flying Conditions
The airport sits at sea level (0 ft MSL), which provides relatively consistent atmospheric conditions compared to higher elevation airports. Pilots should anticipate standard meteorological variations typical of the Shaanxi Province region, which can experience significant seasonal temperature and wind pattern changes.
Notable Features
Xi'an's geographic location in the Guanzhong Plain suggests a generally flat terrain surrounding the airport. The airport's proximity to urban infrastructure in the Baqiao district means pilots should be prepared for potential urban-related air traffic and potential thermal interactions during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
Without specific runway orientation data, standard regional approach protocols should be followed. Pilots are advised to confirm current local procedures, wind conditions, and any specific air traffic control instructions specific to Xi'an Xiguan Airport before initiating approach or departure sequences.
