Weather Briefing

VFR

Zhuhai Jinwan Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 6 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,500 ft, scattered at 2,500 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 21:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 04:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 20:00Z.

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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

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

About Zhuhai Jinwan Airport

Overview

Zhuhai Jinwan Airport serves the Zhuhai region in southern China, located near the special administrative region of Macau. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 23 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Pearl River Delta area. The airport features a substantial concrete runway 05/23 measuring 13,123 feet in length, capable of accommodating a wide range of aircraft.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for marine layer formations and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential visibility and wind shear challenges typical of subtropical maritime environments. The substantial runway length provides significant operational flexibility across diverse meteorological conditions.

Notable Features

Positioned at coordinates 22.006399, 113.375999, Zhuhai Jinwan Airport is situated in a complex geographical region with proximity to both coastal and urban terrain. The extensive 13,123-foot runway enables operations for larger commercial and potentially military aircraft. Its location in the Pearl River Delta suggests potential for complex local wind patterns and terrain-influenced meteorological interactions.

Approach Considerations

The runway orientation of 05/23 indicates potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variability given the airport's coastal positioning. The concrete runway's substantial length provides significant margin for diverse approach and landing scenarios across different aircraft types and weight classifications.
