Weather Briefing
MVFRParma Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (350°) at 7 knots. Runway 02/20 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 11°C (52°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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: Thunderstorm Rain, Patches Fog. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Patches Fog between 00:00Z and 05:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 14:00Z and 17:00Z.
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.

About Parma Airport
Overview
Parma Airport serves the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy, located near the city of Parma at an elevation of 161 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with a 6,962-foot asphalted runway, it supports general aviation, potential regional commercial operations, and serves the transportation needs of the Parma metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Parma Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing in 47.8% of observations. Pilots can expect predominantly westerly winds averaging 4.7 knots, with temperature ranges spanning from -6°C to 29°C. Seasonal data indicates September through November offer the most consistently favorable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (02/20) experiences highly favorable wind alignments, with wind conditions supporting runway orientation in 100% of observations. Crosswind components average a modest 3.3 knots, providing relatively comfortable landing and takeoff conditions. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic location in the Po Valley suggest generally mild terrain challenges.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should account for the airport's westerly wind patterns, which strongly favor runway 02/20. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility (fog present in only 7% of observations). Pilots should be prepared for potential Marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions, which occur in approximately 22.4% of recorded observations.
