Weather Briefing

LIFR

Twente Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with clear skies and 0.65 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 0.65 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 6°C (43°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.

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, Mist, Fog. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 02:00Z and 07:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Showers Rain between 13:00Z and 18:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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 Twente Airport

Overview

Twente Airport is a medium-sized airport located near Enschede in the eastern Netherlands. Situated at an elevation of 114 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides strategic aviation infrastructure for the Twente region with coordinates positioned at 52.275833N, 6.889167E.

Flying Conditions

The airport features two runways with significant length variations: runway 05/23 at 9,801 feet of asphalt surface, and runway 11/29 at 6,558 feet of decommissioned asphalt. Eastern Netherlands terrain typically experiences moderate maritime climate conditions with potential wind variations that pilots should carefully assess during pre-flight planning.

Notable Features

Twente Airport's geographical positioning in the eastern Netherlands suggests potential interaction with regional terrain and potential wind complexities. The substantial length of runway 05/23 provides flexibility for diverse aircraft operations, while the secondary runway offers additional operational contingency.
