Weather Briefing
VFRKempsey Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,900 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 14 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 14-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 5900 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 24 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 Showers Rain, Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain.
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.

Flying Conditions
The airport features two runways with different surface types, offering flexibility for various aircraft types and weather conditions. The primary runway 04/22 is an asphalt surface measuring 5,413 feet, while the secondary runway 16/34 is a grass surface extending 2,014 feet, providing alternative landing options based on wind conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic coordinates at -31.072320, 152.765313 place it in a coastal region of eastern Australia, which may involve complex local terrain and potential marine weather influences. The dual-runway configuration allows for operational adaptability, with surface variations that can accommodate different aircraft performance characteristics.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway surface conditions when planning arrivals and departures at Kempsey Airport. The longer asphalt runway 04/22 will likely be the preferred option for most aircraft, particularly those with higher performance requirements or during marginal weather conditions.
