Weather Briefing
MVFRTaipei Songshan Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,500 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 9 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 06:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 20:00Z and 02:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
