Weather Briefing
MVFRVenice Marco Polo Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,000 feet and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the variable directions at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 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 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 30 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, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Patches Fog between 01:00Z and 05:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 18:00Z.
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 Venice Marco Polo Airport
Overview
Venice Marco Polo Airport serves as the primary international airport for the Venetian region, located approximately 8 kilometers north of Venice itself. Situated at a low elevation of 7 feet mean sea level, the airport is strategically positioned to support commercial and passenger traffic in northeastern Italy. It features two parallel asphalt runways capable of handling large aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's coastal location near the Adriatic Sea contributes to variable meteorological conditions that pilots should carefully monitor. Seasonal wind patterns can significantly influence runway selection and approach procedures, with prevailing winds potentially affecting aircraft performance. The low elevation and proximity to maritime environments suggest potential challenges with visibility, fog, and rapid weather transitions.
Notable Features
Venice Marco Polo Airport is characterized by its complex geographic setting within the Venetian lagoon, presenting unique navigational considerations for pilots. The parallel runway configuration (04L/22R and 04R/22L) provides operational flexibility, with substantial runway lengths of 9,121 and 10,827 feet respectively. The airport's infrastructure supports international and regional aircraft movements in a geographically sensitive environment.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation (04/22) indicates potential crosswind scenarios that pilots must anticipate during arrivals and departures. The substantial runway lengths provide significant operational margins for various aircraft types, supporting comprehensive approach strategies. Pilots should expect potential maritime meteorological influences and prepare for potential rapid weather transitions characteristic of the Venetian coastal region.
