Weather Briefing
VFRDaegu Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.

About Daegu Airport
Overview
Daegu Airport serves the metropolitan area of Daegu, South Korea, positioned at an elevation of 116 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with two substantial concrete runways, each approximately 9,000 feet long, it supports regional and potentially some domestic commercial aviation operations. The airport's coordinates at 35.896872, 128.655310 place it in a strategically important location in southeastern South Korea.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly excellent visual flight conditions, with VFR conditions present 89.4% of the time. The airport experiences a moderate wind environment, with prevailing northwest winds at an average of 4.7 knots and maximum gusts up to 23 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -10°C to 34°C, suggesting potential need for temperature-related performance calculations during extreme seasonal conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features twin parallel runways (13L/31R and 13R/31L) with nearly identical lengths and construction. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind of just 1.2 knots. The consistent runway configuration provides flexibility for operations across different wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Winter months like January, November, and December offer the most stable VFR conditions for arrivals and departures. With consistently high visibility (average 10 statute miles) and minimal occurrence of low visibility events, pilots can anticipate reliable approach conditions. The northwest prevailing winds suggest runway 31 variations might be slightly more common for landing and takeoff operations.
