Weather Briefing

VFR

Aomori Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (280°) at 5 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Aomori Airport

Overview

Aomori Airport serves the Aomori Prefecture in northern Japan, positioned at an elevation of 664 feet MSL. The medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Tohoku region, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations. Its strategic location near the northern tip of Honshu Island makes it an important regional aviation hub.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Aomori Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 58.6% of observed conditions. Pilots should anticipate MVFR (14%), IFR (10.8%), and Low IFR (16.6%) conditions throughout the year. Temperature ranges from -11°C to 28°C, with an average of 5.1°C, suggesting potential for challenging winter operations and significant seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (06/24) extending 9,846 feet with an asphalt surface. Prevailing winds consistently blow from the southwest at 225°, with an average speed of 9.3 knots and occasional gusts up to 30 knots. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal fog occurrence (2% of observations) and no significant low-visibility events.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24 offers highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 3.5 knots. September, October, and November present the most consistently favorable VFR flying conditions. Pilots should prepare for potential winter challenges and leverage the runway's substantial length for safe operations across diverse weather scenarios.
