Weather Briefing

VFR

Grosseto Corrado Baccarini Air Base / Grosseto Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 5 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,000 ft, scattered at 2,500 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Rain, Showers Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.

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.

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

The airport features two asphalt runways: the primary 03/21 runway at 9,823 feet and a secondary 03R/21L runway at 7,723 feet. It supports both military and potentially civilian aviation operations in the central Italian region.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Grosseto are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 88.2% of observations supporting VFR operations. Prevailing winds from the northeast (45°) average 6.3 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 23 knots. Temperature ranges from -2°C to 30°C, with an average of 13.1°C, providing generally stable flying conditions throughout the year.

Notable Features

Both runways demonstrate consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and a low average crosswind of 2.9 knots. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility or fog (0.8% of observations).

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots can expect excellent approach conditions with high probability of visual meteorological conditions. The parallel runway configuration and consistent wind patterns provide flexibility in landing and takeoff directions, with minimal wind-related restrictions.
