Weather Briefing

MVFR

Bergerac Dordogne-Périgord airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 6,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (260°) at 7 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

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. 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: Showers Rain, Rain, Light Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 18:00Z and 00:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Rain between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.

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.
