Weather Briefing
VFRSouth Bimini Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 9 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (90°) at 9 knots with gusts to 14 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 SM. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About South Bimini Airport
Overview
South Bimini Airport serves the Bahamian island of South Bimini, located in the western Bahamas approximately 50 miles east of Miami, Florida. As a medium-sized airport with a single 5,409-foot asphalted runway, it provides critical aviation access to this small but strategically positioned island in the Caribbean region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 10 feet mean sea level indicates minimal terrain variations and typically stable atmospheric conditions. Being situated in the Atlantic hurricane zone, pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather fluctuations, particularly during the June through November hurricane season that can significantly impact regional flying conditions.
Notable Features
South Bimini's runway orientation of 09/27 suggests the airport is aligned with predominant regional wind patterns. The island's coastal location means pilots can expect potential maritime meteorological influences, including sea breezes, variable wind conditions, and potential visibility challenges from marine layer developments.
Approach Considerations
With a single runway configuration, pilots should carefully assess wind direction and strength when planning approaches to runway 09 or 27. The airport's proximity to ocean environments requires standard maritime navigational awareness, particularly regarding potential wind shear and localized atmospheric changes typical of island airports.
