Weather Briefing

VFR

Adolf Würth Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 15 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 15-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3200 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 12:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z 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 Adolf Würth Airport

Overview

Adolf Würth Airport serves the Schwäbisch Hall region in southern Germany, functioning as a medium-sized airport situated at 1,299 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 49.118332, 9.783889, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding Baden-Württemberg area. Its two runways accommodate various general aviation and regional aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Adolf Würth Airport demonstrate significant variability, with VFR conditions predominating at 54.2% of observed periods. Winds predominantly originate from the east at an average of 6.1 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 27 knots. Temperature ranges from -12°C to 30°C, creating diverse operational environments that pilots must carefully assess before flight.

Notable Features

The airport features two distinct runways: a 5,053-foot concrete runway (10/28) and a 2,460-foot grass runway (10L/28R). Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind component of 3.1 knots. The elevation of 1,299 feet means pilots should anticipate moderate terrain interactions during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Optimal visual flying conditions occur during October, September, and November, with consistently favorable wind patterns. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility (fog present only 1.9% of observations). Pilots can expect predictable approach conditions, particularly during autumn months when meteorological stability is most pronounced.
