Weather Briefing
VFRBouarfa Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 11 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,600 ft (TCU), scattered at 4,000 ft. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.
