Weather Briefing

MVFR

Xi'an Xiguan Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,000 feet and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,000 ft.

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 IFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Mist.

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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Xi'an Xiguan Airport

Overview

Xi'an Xiguan Airport serves the metropolitan area of Xi'an in Shaanxi Province, China. Located at coordinates 34.376701, 109.120003, this medium airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region surrounding Xi'an, a historically significant city in northwestern China.

Flying Conditions

The airport sits at sea level (0 ft MSL), which provides relatively consistent atmospheric conditions compared to higher elevation airports. Pilots should anticipate standard meteorological variations typical of the Shaanxi Province region, which can experience significant seasonal temperature and wind pattern changes.

Notable Features

Xi'an's geographic location in the Guanzhong Plain suggests a generally flat terrain surrounding the airport. The airport's proximity to urban infrastructure in the Baqiao district means pilots should be prepared for potential urban-related air traffic and potential thermal interactions during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Without specific runway orientation data, standard regional approach protocols should be followed. Pilots are advised to confirm current local procedures, wind conditions, and any specific air traffic control instructions specific to Xi'an Xiguan Airport before initiating approach or departure sequences.
