Weather Briefing

MVFR

Kaili Huangping Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,300 feet and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 3300 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,300 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 12°C (54°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.

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 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 Kaili Huangping Airport

Overview

Kaili Huangping Airport serves the Kaili area in Guizhou Province, China, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at coordinates 26.972000, 107.988000, the airport provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the mountainous southwestern region of China. Its elevation of 3,115 feet MSL indicates a significant terrain height that pilots must consider during flight operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's high elevation of 3,115 feet MSL suggests challenging atmospheric conditions typical of mountainous terrain in southwestern China. Pilots should anticipate potential performance limitations due to altitude density effects, particularly during warmer months when air density decreases. Temperature variations and potential orographic weather phenomena are likely significant factors in local flying conditions.

Notable Features

Situated in a mountainous region, Kaili Huangping Airport features a single runway (04/22) with a substantial length of 8,530 feet. The airport's geographic positioning in Guizhou Province implies complex surrounding terrain that could generate localized wind patterns and potential turbulence. Pilots should be prepared for terrain-induced meteorological variations that are characteristic of this mountainous landscape.

Approach Considerations

The runway's orientation of 04/22 suggests potential wind alignment considerations during approach and departure phases. With 8,530 feet of runway length, the airport provides adequate space for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Careful attention to terrain, elevation, and potential wind shear is recommended when planning approaches to this mountain-region airport.
