Weather Briefing
MVFRBilbao Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 9 km 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 9 km. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 10°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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, Heavy Showers Rain, DZRA. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 21:00Z and 12:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Heavy Showers Rain between 00:00Z 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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Bilbao Airport
Overview
Bilbao Airport serves the Basque region in northern Spain, located near the city of Bilbao at an elevation of 138 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalted runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for both regional and commercial operations. The airport's strategic location supports transportation needs in this industrially significant area of Spain.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Bilbao Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 82% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Temperature ranges from -1°C to 38°C, with an average of 13.9°C, creating relatively stable flying environments. Wind patterns are consistently easterly at an average of 6.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots, and calm conditions occurring 4.6% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 10/28 at 6,266 feet and 12/30 at 8,530 feet, both constructed with asphalted surfaces. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind (3.5-3.6 knots). Visibility is consistently high, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
October through December represent the best months for VFR flying, offering optimal meteorological conditions. The airport's dual runway configuration provides flexibility for approaches, with consistent wind patterns supporting predictable landing and takeoff scenarios. Pilots can expect minimal fog (1.9% of observations) and excellent visibility during most operational periods.
