Weather Briefing
VFRLa Roche-sur-Yon Les Ajoncs Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (10°) at 10 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3400 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 8°C (46°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: Light Showers Rain, Mist, Fog. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 17:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 22:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 02:00Z and 07:00Z.
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.
