Weather Briefing
VFRMontreal International (Mirabel) Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,400 feet and 30 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 7 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 30 SM. The ceiling is 3400 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°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 24 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 Rain, Light Drizzle, Mist, FCST. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Light Drizzle, Mist between 12:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 16:00Z and 20:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport
Overview
Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport serves the Greater Montreal region as a strategic medium-sized airport located northwest of Montreal. Situated at 270 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Quebec area. Its two substantial runways support diverse aviation operations across commercial, cargo, and potential general aviation segments.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable flying conditions, with 64.8% of observations reporting VFR conditions. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variation, ranging from -29°C to 27°C, with an average temperature of 0°C. Wind patterns are consistently from the west (270°) at an average of 5.5 knots, with calm conditions occurring 12.1% of the time and maximum gusts reaching 18 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two concrete runways: a primary 12,000-foot runway (06/24) and a secondary 8,852-foot runway (11/29). Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. Crosswind conditions are minimal, averaging 1.9 knots on runway 06/24 and 3.9 knots on runway 11/29, which provides flexible operational capabilities for arriving and departing aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Visibility averaging 21.9 statute miles supports reliable approaches, though pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced conditions. September, October, and December offer the most consistent VFR conditions. Low IFR and LIFR conditions occur in 15.5% of observations, primarily during winter months. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility scenarios, with fog present in approximately 3% of observations.
