Weather Briefing

MVFR

Miyako Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (190°) at 12 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.

About Miyako Airport

Overview

Miyako Airport serves Miyakojima, a strategically located island in the Ryukyu Islands of Japan. Positioned at 24.782801, 125.294998 with an elevation of 150 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region. The airport features a single runway (04/22) measuring 6,560 feet with an asphalt surface.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Miyako Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 80.8% of observations showing clear conditions. Winds consistently blow from the northeast at an average of 10.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 25 knots. Pilots can expect stable temperatures averaging 23°C, with a comfortable range between 12°C and 33°C throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (04/22) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Crosswinds average a manageable 4.6 knots, presenting minimal challenge for most aircraft operations. The island's geographic position in the Ryukyu archipelago means pilots should anticipate potential maritime influences on local weather patterns.

Approach Considerations

September, January, and October represent the most consistently favorable months for VFR operations, with optimal weather conditions. Runway 04/22 is well-positioned to handle prevailing northeastern winds, providing predictable approach and departure scenarios. Pilots should prepare for consistent visibility around 10 statute miles and minimal risk of fog or low-visibility conditions.
