Weather Briefing

VFR

Vigo Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 5 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 18:00Z and 19:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

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