Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,200 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain, Mist, Light Rain, Mist, Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 22:00Z and 01:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 03:00Z and 06:00Z.
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.

About Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport
Overview
Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport serves the Wuhu region in Anhui Province, China, providing essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation. Located at 31.104500, 118.666870, the airport operates at an elevation of 80 feet mean sea level, positioning it in a relatively low-altitude coastal area. As a medium-sized airport, it supports commercial and potentially general aviation operations in eastern China.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 80 ft MSL suggests a maritime climate with potentially moderate humidity and minimal elevation-related atmospheric variations. Pilots should anticipate typical eastern Chinese coastal weather patterns, which can include seasonal monsoon influences and potential visibility challenges during summer and winter transitional periods. The single runway (06/24) measuring 9,186 feet provides substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for most medium-sized aircraft.
Notable Features
Wuhu Xuanzhou Airport's runway orientation of 06/24 indicates a northwest-southeast alignment, which may influence wind considerations during approach and departure. The airport's geographic location near the Yangtze River delta region suggests potential for complex local terrain and wind patterns that pilots should carefully assess during pre-flight planning. The medium airport classification implies moderate infrastructure and support capabilities.
Approach Considerations
Approaches to runway 06 or 24 will depend on prevailing wind conditions and air traffic control instructions. With a substantial runway length of 9,186 feet, the airport can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types with comfortable margins for landing and takeoff. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight weather assessments and be prepared for potential localized wind shifts typical of coastal river delta environments.
