Weather Briefing
MVFRLille Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 5,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 12 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,400 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm RAGS. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 19:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Thunderstorm RAGS between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 03:00Z and 13:00Z.
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 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.

Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect variable weather conditions, with VFR conditions predominating at 42% of observations. Winter temperatures can drop to -6°C, while summer peaks reach 29°C, with an average temperature of 8.9°C. Fog occurs in 8.2% of observations, and visibility typically remains excellent at an average of 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 01/19 at 5,184 feet and 08/26 at 9,268 feet, providing flexible operational capabilities. Both runways demonstrate consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The prevailing wind from the south (180°) occurs at an average speed of 9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 34 knots.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and January offer the most favorable VFR conditions for arrivals and departures. Crosswind components are moderate, averaging 4.6 knots on runway 01/19 and 6.6 knots on runway 08/26. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variations and maintain situational awareness during approach and landing.
