Weather Briefing
MVFRNingbo Lishe International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 8 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Mist.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Ningbo Lishe International Airport
Overview
Ningbo Lishe International Airport serves the major industrial city of Ningbo in Zhejiang Province, China. Located at 29.8267°N, 121.462°E with an elevation of 13 feet MSL, the airport is a significant transportation hub for the region's commercial and passenger traffic. It supports large aircraft operations with a substantial runway measuring 10,499 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 13 feet suggests minimal terrain-induced weather complications. Situated on the eastern coast of China, the airport likely experiences maritime climate influences with potential sea-level visibility and wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential coastal weather patterns that can affect approach and departure conditions.
Notable Features
The single runway (13/31) is constructed of concrete and provides substantial length at 10,499 feet, accommodating wide-body and long-haul aircraft operations. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind management considerations during approach and departure phases. The airport's coastal location may introduce dynamic wind conditions requiring careful navigation.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31's extensive length provides operational flexibility for various aircraft types and weights. Given the airport's coastal positioning, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shifts and maritime meteorological influences during approach. Standard instrument approach procedures should be carefully reviewed, with particular attention to local wind patterns and potential sea-level meteorological variations.
