Weather Briefing

VFR

San Sebastián Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 700 ft, scattered at 2,200 ft, few at 3,000 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain, DZRA. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 08:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 08:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 08:00Z and 18:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.

About San Sebastián Airport

Overview

San Sebastián Airport serves the Basque region in northern Spain, located in Hondarribia near the border with France. Situated at 16 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the coastal and mountainous terrain of the region.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 83.5% of observations showing clear flying weather and only 3.6% reporting IFR conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the south at an average of 6.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots, and very few periods of calm winds (2.5% of observations).

Notable Features

The single runway 04/22 is 5,755 feet long with an asphalt surface, positioned to take full advantage of the local wind patterns. The airport's location near coastal and mountainous terrain suggests potential for complex local wind and terrain-induced weather variations that pilots should carefully evaluate during preflight planning.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22 demonstrates favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 3 knots. Pilots should note the temperature range from -3°C to 31°C, which can impact aircraft performance, and that the best VFR flying months are September, October, and November.
