Weather Briefing
VFRVirginia Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 6 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4300 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Light Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Rain between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Virginia Airport
Overview
Virginia Airport serves the Durban metropolitan area in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Located at coordinates -29.770599, 31.058399, this medium-sized airport operates at a low elevation of 20 feet mean sea level. The airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional and local flight operations in the coastal urban environment.
Flying Conditions
As a coastal airport, Virginia experiences typical subtropical climate conditions characteristic of Durban's region. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences, including occasional sea breezes and humidity variations. The low elevation of 20 ft MSL suggests minimal altitude-related performance considerations for aircraft operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (05/23) with a length of 3,035 feet, suitable for smaller aircraft and regional operations. Its geographical proximity to Durban's urban center makes it strategically positioned for local aviation activities. The runway orientation suggests potential wind exposure from different directional approaches.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23 provides a standard approach environment with 3,035 feet of asphalt surface. Pilots should assess wind conditions and runway alignment when planning arrivals and departures. The relatively short runway length requires careful aircraft performance calculations and weight management during operational planning.
