Weather Briefing

VFR

Landivisiau Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 4,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (350°) at 6 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft, scattered at 4,700 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 8°C (46°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
