Weather Briefing
IFRTaipei Songshan Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,600 feet and 3.5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 12 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 3.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 1600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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: Light Rain, Showers Rain, Light Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain between 06:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 00:00Z.
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.

The airport features a single runway (10/28) measuring 8,547 feet in length, constructed with asphalt pavement.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Songshan are predominantly favorable for flying, with 74% of observations reporting VFR conditions. The airport experiences consistent easterly winds averaging 9.1 knots, with maximum gusts up to 26 knots. Temperature variations range from 7°C to 37°C, with an average of 22.7°C, providing generally stable atmospheric conditions for aviation.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical location in an urban environment suggests potential for complex wind patterns and surrounding terrain considerations. Its single runway (10/28) demonstrates remarkable wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind of just 1.9 knots. September, November, and December represent the most consistently favorable VFR flying months.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect highly predictable wind conditions when operating at Songshan, with east-predominant winds at 90 degrees. The runway's extensive 8,547-foot length provides substantial operational flexibility.
