Weather Briefing
IFRAbbeville-Buigny Baie de Somme Airfield is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 9 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 700 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 9 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Abbeville-Buigny Baie de Somme Airfield
Overview
Abbeville-Buigny Baie de Somme Airfield serves the Hauts-de-France region in northern France, located near the coastal area of Buigny-Saint-Maclou. As a medium airport with an elevation of 220 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding maritime and agricultural landscape.
Flying Conditions
Situated at a relatively low elevation with coastal proximity, the airfield experiences maritime-influenced weather patterns typical of northern France. Pilots should anticipate potential variability in wind conditions, particularly given the airport's multiple runway configurations that provide wind adaptation options.
Notable Features
The airport offers three distinct runways: a 4,101-foot concrete runway (02/20), a 2,950-foot grass runway (02L/20R), and a shorter 1,880-foot grass runway (13/31). This diverse runway portfolio allows for flexible operations and accommodates different aircraft types and wind conditions.
Approach Considerations
Approach strategies should consider the primary concrete runway (02/20) as the primary operational surface, with grass runways providing alternative options. The airport's coordinate location at 50.143501, 1.831891 places it in a coastal region that may experience complex local wind patterns requiring careful preflight planning and wind assessment.
