Weather Briefing
VFRBrest Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (270°) at 14 knots with gusts to 23 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component (gusting to 8 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3300 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,300 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 15:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
