Weather Briefing
LIFRPantelleria Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 9 knots. Runway 02/20 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 200 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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: Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z 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 Pantelleria Airport
Overview
Pantelleria Airport serves the island of Pantelleria, located in the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and Tunisia. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalted runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for this strategic Italian island location. The airport sits at an elevation of 628 feet above mean sea level, positioned at coordinates 36.816502, 11.968900.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable visual flying conditions, with 78.4% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the south (180°) at an average of 9.6 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 38 knots. Temperature ranges from 7°C to 32°C, with an average of 17°C, offering generally stable flying conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
Both runways (02/20 and 07/25) demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with modest average crosswind components of 6.2 and 6.8 knots respectively. The airport's geographical position in the Mediterranean creates unique wind and visibility characteristics, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (0.1% of observations).
Approach Considerations
October, September, and November represent the best months for VFR flying, with optimal weather conditions. The airport's two runways (4,003 ft and 5,495 ft in length) provide flexible approach options. Pilots should anticipate potential moderate to strong southern winds and prepare for potential crosswind landings, though the statistical data suggests generally manageable wind conditions.
