Weather Briefing

VFR

A Coruña Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (350°) at 11 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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 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. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Rain between 15:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 22:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 04:00Z and 11:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.

About A Coruña Airport

Overview

A Coruña Airport serves the northwestern Spanish city of A Coruña, located in Galicia. Situated in Culleredo at 326 feet above mean sea level, the airport operates a single runway 03/21 measuring 7,178 feet in length with an asphalt surface. The airport handles regional and domestic commercial aviation traffic in this coastal region of Spain.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at A Coruña Airport are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 72.4% of observations supporting VFR operations. Seasonal temperatures range from -1°C to 27°C, with an average of 12.3°C, providing relatively moderate operating conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the south (180°) at an average of 7.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 36 knots and calm periods occurring 2.7% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport's coastal location in Galicia introduces potential maritime weather influences, including periodic fog events affecting 12.1% of observations. The surrounding terrain and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean can generate localized wind variations and potential turbulence. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with consistently favorable wind conditions for runway 03/21.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 experiences favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of 3.9 knots. Pilots should anticipate the most stable VFR conditions during October, January, and September. The low percentage of instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions at 4.8% suggests generally reliable visual approach opportunities.
