Weather Briefing

MVFR

San Sebastián Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,000 feet and 5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 10 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Rain, Heavy Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Rain between 12:00Z and 17:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Heavy Rain between 12:00Z and 17:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 17:00Z and 08:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 San Sebastián Airport

Overview

San Sebastián Airport serves the Basque region in northern Spain, located in Hondarribia near the border with France. Situated at 16 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the coastal and mountainous terrain of the region.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 83.5% of observations showing clear flying weather and only 3.6% reporting IFR conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the south at an average of 6.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots, and very few periods of calm winds (2.5% of observations).

Notable Features

The single runway 04/22 is 5,755 feet long with an asphalt surface, positioned to take full advantage of the local wind patterns. The airport's location near coastal and mountainous terrain suggests potential for complex local wind and terrain-induced weather variations that pilots should carefully evaluate during preflight planning.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22 demonstrates favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 3 knots. Pilots should note the temperature range from -3°C to 31°C, which can impact aircraft performance, and that the best VFR flying months are September, October, and November.
