Weather Briefing
VFRChâteaudun Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 6,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 13 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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 Rain, Light Showers Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 6 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 15:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 15:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
