Weather Briefing
IFRSuzhou Guangfu Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 800 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (10°) at 8 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Mist.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Suzhou Guangfu Airport
Overview
Suzhou Guangfu Airport serves the metropolitan area of Suzhou, located in Jiangsu Province, eastern China. Positioned at coordinates 31.263100, 120.401001, this medium-sized airport provides regional aviation services for the surrounding urban and industrial region. The airport sits at sea level (0 ft MSL), which simplifies altitude-related flight planning considerations.
Flying Conditions
Pilots operating at Suzhou Guangfu Airport should anticipate maritime climate conditions typical of the Yangtze River Delta region, characterized by humid summers and mild winters. Seasonal variations can significantly impact flight operations, with potential increased humidity and precipitation during the summer months. The airport's sea-level elevation eliminates high-altitude performance considerations for aircraft.
Notable Features
The airport is situated in a relatively flat coastal region, with minimal terrain challenges for approach and departure procedures. Its proximity to Suzhou's urban center suggests potential for controlled airspace and proximity to other regional aviation traffic. The geographic location near the Yangtze River Delta provides strategic connectivity for regional commercial and business aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
As a medium airport at sea level, Suzhou Guangfu Airport offers straightforward approach characteristics without significant elevation-related complexities. Pilots should prepare for potential maritime weather influences and urban airspace interactions when planning arrivals and departures. Standard instrument approach procedures consistent with regional Chinese aviation protocols are likely to be in effect.
