Weather Briefing
VFRClermont-Ferrand Auvergne airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 12 knots with gusts to 27 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component (gusting to 9 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 2°C, indicating relatively dry conditions.
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, Thunderstorm Small Hail, Light Showers Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Thunderstorm Small Hail between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne airport
Overview
Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne airport serves the Auvergne region in central France, situated at an elevation of 1090 ft MSL near the city of Clermont-Ferrand. The airport features three runways, with the primary runway 08/26 being a 9,885 ft asphalted surface capable of handling medium-sized aircraft. Its strategic location provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at the airport demonstrate significant variability, with VFR conditions prevailing 68.4% of the time. Pilots can expect temperatures ranging from -10°C to 33°C, with an average of 9.3°C. Wind patterns are predominantly from the south at an average of 7.4 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 31 knots. Fog is present 9.8% of the time, which may impact visibility.
Notable Features
The airport offers three distinct runways, including two grass surfaces (01/19 and 08L/26R) and one primary asphalted runway (08/26). All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind conditions ranging from 3.3 to 5.8 knots. The airport's elevation and location in central France suggest potential terrain and microclimate considerations for pilots.
Approach Considerations
January, October, and November present the most favorable VFR conditions for operations. All runways show consistent wind favorability, with runway 08/26 offering the longest surface at 9,885 ft. Pilots should anticipate potential visibility challenges, particularly during the 10.4% of IFR and 7.6% of LIFR conditions reported in the observation data.
