Weather Briefing
VFRRishiri Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 9 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 3°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Rishiri Airport
Overview
Rishiri Airport serves the island of Rishiri, located in northern Hokkaido, Japan. As a medium-sized airport situated at 112 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential transportation infrastructure for this remote island region. The airport supports regional connectivity with its single runway configuration.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location in northern Japan suggests potential for challenging maritime weather conditions, particularly during winter months. Pilots should anticipate possible wind variations given the island's coastal positioning. The 5,906-foot asphalted runway provides adequate length for most regional aircraft operations.
Notable Features
Rishiri Airport is positioned at coordinates 45.242001, 141.186005, situated on an island with likely complex terrain and potential wind interactions. The airport's elevation of 112 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-lying terrain environment. Runway 07/25 offers a directional orientation that may provide operational flexibility depending on prevailing wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should consider the runway's 5,906-foot length and asphalted surface. The single runway orientation (07/25) suggests pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios typical of island environments. Standard regional approach procedures and careful wind assessment will be critical for safe operations at this airport.
