Weather Briefing
VFRVélizy-Villacoublay Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 5 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,600 ft, few at 3,000 ft (TCU). Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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, Thunderstorm RAGS, Light Showers Rain, Light Thunderstorm RAGS. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 15:00Z and 17:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm RAGS between 15:00Z and 16:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 17:00Z and 19:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Vélizy-Villacoublay Air Base
Vélizy-Villacoublay Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the FR AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Vélizy-Villacoublay Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in the Yvelines department of France, situated near Paris. The airport serves as an important military and potentially civilian aviation facility, positioned at an elevation of 584 feet above mean sea level. Its strategic location in the Paris metropolitan area makes it a significant regional aviation asset.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Vélizy-Villacoublay demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing in 46.7% of observations. Instrument meteorological conditions are common, with MVFR, IFR, and LIFR conditions accounting for a combined 53.3% of recorded weather. Pilots can expect temperatures ranging from -7°C to 29°C, with an average of 9°C, and predominantly southerly winds averaging 7.6 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway 09/27, constructed of asphalt and measuring 5,948 feet in length. Wind data indicates excellent runway utilization, with 100% favorable wind conditions for the runway heading. The surrounding terrain is characteristic of the Paris region, with relatively flat topography that generally supports stable approach and departure conditions.
Approach Considerations
Prevailing southerly winds at 180° suggest pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components, with an average crosswind of 5.2 knots on runway 09/27. September, October, and January offer the most favorable VFR conditions for operations. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility, though pilots should be prepared for occasional fog events affecting 8.7% of observations.
