Weather Briefing
MVFROita Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,400 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 1 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2600 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain, Mist between 14:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain, Mist between 16:00Z and 23:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 23:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Oita Airport
Overview
Oita Airport serves the Oita Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan, functioning as a critical medium-sized regional transportation hub. Located at an elevation of 19 feet MSL, the airport supports commercial and general aviation operations with its single runway 01/19 measuring 9,840 feet in length and constructed with asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly excellent visual flying conditions, with 92.3% of observations reporting VFR weather. Winds predominantly blow from the west at an average of 7 knots, with occasional gusts up to 22 knots. Temperature ranges from -2°C to 30°C, providing relatively stable operating conditions throughout the year, with November, December, and January offering the most consistent VFR weather.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates 33.479401, 131.737000, Oita Airport is positioned in a coastal region of Kyushu with potential maritime meteorological influences. The airport's runway orientation (01/19) is highly favorable, with wind conditions supporting operations 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 5 knots, which facilitates comfortable approach and landing scenarios.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's extensive 9,840-foot length provides substantial runway availability for various aircraft types. Pilots can expect consistent wind conditions from the west, which generally align favorably with the runway heading. The statistically low occurrence of instrument meteorological conditions (IFR/LIFR at only 1.3%) suggests predictable approach environments with high visibility averages around 10 statute miles.
