Weather Briefing
IFRMiyazaki Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 600 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 9 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 600 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°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 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 02:00Z.
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 Miyazaki Airport
Overview
Miyazaki Airport serves the Miyazaki Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan, providing critical regional air connectivity. Located at 20 feet mean sea level with coordinates 31.877199, 131.449005, this medium-sized airport supports commercial and general aviation operations with a substantial 8,200-foot asphalt runway.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 86% of observations indicating clear flying weather and only 2.9% reporting IFR conditions. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 8.2 knots with occasional gusts up to 27 knots characterize the local wind environment. Temperature ranges from -2°C to 35°C, with an average of 16.6°C, suggesting significant seasonal variation.
Notable Features
Situated on the eastern coast of Kyushu, Miyazaki Airport's low elevation and coastal location likely influence its consistent visibility, which averages 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility. The airport's single runway (09/27) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and a modest average crosswind of 3.4 knots.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during winter months, particularly January, November, and December. The runway's orientation and length provide flexibility for most aircraft types, with consistent wind patterns that generally support straightforward approaches and departures. Calm wind conditions are rare, occurring in only 0.1% of observations.
