Weather Briefing
MVFRFoshan Shadi Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 8 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2600 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 14:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 05:00Z and 09:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Foshan Shadi Airport
Overview
Foshan Shadi Airport serves the Nanhai district of Foshan, located in Guangdong Province, China. As a medium-sized airport situated at a low elevation of 6 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Pearl River Delta region. The airport's single runway (01/19) extends 9,186 feet, supporting regional commercial and potentially general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation and proximity to the Pearl River Delta suggest potential for humidity and variable wind conditions typical of southern China's subtropical climate. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather variations, including potential monsoon influences during summer months. The airport's geographic location may experience localized convection and maritime weather patterns.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates 23.082500, 113.070833, Foshan Shadi Airport is positioned in a relatively flat coastal region with minimal terrain challenges. The single runway orientation (01/19) indicates potential for crosswind considerations during approach and landing. The low elevation suggests minimal altitude-related performance constraints for aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's substantial length of 9,186 feet provides significant operational flexibility for most medium-sized aircraft. Approach planning should consider potential wind variations given the airport's coastal location. Pilots should prepare standard procedures for a low-elevation airport with minimal surrounding terrain interference.
