Weather Briefing

VFR

Sidi Bel Abbes Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies. Note: This observation is 1.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 6 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 24°C (75°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.

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.

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