Weather Briefing
IFRBolzano Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,000 feet and 4.5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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: Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 00:00Z.
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 Bolzano Airport
Overview
Bolzano Airport serves the South Tyrol region in northern Italy, located in a mountainous alpine environment near the city of Bolzano. Situated at an elevation of 789 feet MSL, the airport operates two runways and provides critical transportation infrastructure for the surrounding autonomous province. The airport supports regional and general aviation operations in a geographically complex terrain.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Bolzano Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 92.8% of observations indicating VFR conditions. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -11°C to 29°C, with an average of 8.1°C. Wind patterns are typically light, with a prevailing northerly direction, average speed of 3.5 knots, and occasional gusts up to 17 knots. Visibility remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a primary asphalt runway 01/19 measuring 4,698 feet, and a secondary grass runway 01R/19L spanning 2,290 feet. Both runways demonstrate consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The mountainous surrounding terrain likely influences local wind patterns and approach dynamics, requiring pilots to maintain heightened situational awareness during operations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently favorable wind conditions for both runways, with minimal average crosswind of 1.8 knots. January, December, and October represent the most stable VFR months for operations. While specific approach procedures are not detailed, the airport's alpine location suggests potential terrain-related considerations during arrival and departure phases. Careful preflight planning and awareness of local geographic features are recommended.
