Weather Briefing
MVFRPau Pyrénées Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,500 feet and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 10 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1300 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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: Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain, Light Rain, Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 20:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 21:00Z and 05:00Z.
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 Pau Pyrénées Airport
Overview
Pau Pyrénées Airport serves the Pyrénées region in southwestern France, located near the city of Pau at an elevation of 616 feet MSL. The airport provides medium-sized airport capabilities, strategically positioned between the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenees mountain range.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Pau Pyrénées Airport predominantly support visual flight rules, with 66.1% of observations showing VFR conditions. Temperature variations range significantly from -7°C to 33°C, with an average of 11.2°C, presenting potential seasonal operational considerations for pilots. Wind patterns are consistently southeast (135°) with an average speed of 5.4 knots and occasional gusts up to 28 knots.
Notable Features
The single runway 13/31 spans 8,202 feet with an asphalted surface, offering substantial landing capabilities. The airport's geographical position near the Pyrenees suggests potential for complex terrain-influenced wind patterns and visibility conditions. Calm wind conditions occur in 4.1% of observations, indicating relatively stable atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31 demonstrates 100% favorable wind alignment and an average crosswind of only 3.1 knots, providing predictable approach conditions. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility (fog present in 7.8% of observations). October, November, and September represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for aviation operations.
