Weather Briefing

MVFR

Burgos Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 7 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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, Showers Rain, Mist. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 15 knots. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 03:00Z and 08:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain, Showers Rain between 04:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
