Weather Briefing
IFRMonterey Peninsula Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 900 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 9 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°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.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Monterey Peninsula Airport
Overview
Monterey Peninsula Airport serves the central California coastal region, located at 36.587002, -121.843002 with an elevation of 257 feet MSL. The airport features two asphalt runways: a shorter 3,513-foot runway (10L/28R) and a longer 7,616-foot runway (10R/28L), accommodating various general aviation and regional commercial aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at KMRY are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 67.3% of observations in VFR conditions. East winds prevail at an average of 5.3 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 24 knots. Temperature ranges from 3°C to 29°C, with an average of 13.8°C, and visibility typically excellent at 9.2 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport's coastal location influences its microclimate, with frequent wind patterns and potential marine layer developments. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with minimal average crosswind components of 2.5 knots. Pilots should anticipate potential fog conditions, which occur in approximately 3.5% of observations.
Approach Considerations
Winter months (November, December, January) offer the most consistent VFR conditions for arrivals and departures. With calm winds present in 25.5% of observations, pilots should be prepared for variable wind conditions. The longer runway (10R/28L) provides more flexibility for larger aircraft and potentially challenging approach scenarios.
