Weather Briefing

VFR

Bremen Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4200 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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: Rain, Showers Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Rain between 07:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 14:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 14:00Z and 17:00Z.

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 Bremen Airport

Overview

Bremen Airport serves northern Germany as a medium-sized airport located in the city of Bremen. Situated at 14 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 53.046786, 8.789320, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Its two asphalted runways (05/23 at 2297ft and 09/27 at 8642ft) support diverse aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Pilots should expect highly variable weather conditions, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions prevalent 53.3% of the time. Marginal VFR occurs 23% of observations, while instrument conditions (IFR/LIFR) account for nearly 24% of weather scenarios. Temperature ranges dramatically from -13°C to 28°C, with an average of 7.1°C, suggesting significant seasonal temperature variations.

Notable Features

The airport's wind characteristics are consistently southwest-oriented, with prevailing winds at 225° and an average speed of 8.4 knots. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, showing 100% favorable wind conditions. The maximum recorded wind speed is 25 knots, with calm conditions extremely rare at only 0.1% of observations.

Approach Considerations

September, October, and December represent the most favorable VFR months for operations. Average crosswind components remain manageable at 4.5 knots for runway 05/23 and 4.8 knots for runway 09/27. Visibility typically exceeds 10 statute miles, with fog present in only 7.4% of observations, generally providing good approach conditions.
