Weather Briefing

MVFR

Bournemouth Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 7 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1100 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 06:00Z and 09:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 66.5% of observations supporting clear flying. Winds are typically from the south (180°) at an average of 8.9 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 34 knots. Temperature ranges from -8°C to 22°C, with an average of 10.3°C, suggesting variable seasonal conditions.

Notable Features

Situated near the southern English coast, Bournemouth Airport's low elevation and coastal location can produce rapid weather changes. The airport experiences minimal low visibility events, with fog present in only 5% of observations and less than 3% of reports showing visibility below 3 statute miles.

Approach Considerations

Runway 08/26 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 5.5 knots. September, November, and January historically offer the most consistent VFR conditions, providing pilots with more predictable flying environments during these months.
