Weather Briefing

MVFR

Sidi Bel Abbes Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,600 feet and 7 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.4 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (90°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,300 ft, scattered at 2,600 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
