Weather Briefing
MVFROban Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,700 feet and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 21 knots with gusts to 35 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 21-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component (gusting to 6 knots crosswind). These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 4700 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 5°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 2 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: Showers Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 15:00Z 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. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Oban Airport
Oban Airport (EGEO/OBN) is located in North Connel, GB at an elevation of 20 feet MSL. The airport has 2 runways (01/19, 04/22), with the longest at 4,147 feet.
Weather Profile
With VFR conditions only 65.8% of the time based on 2,543 observations, EGEO requires careful weather planning. IFR conditions occur in 3.6% of reports, and instrument proficiency is advisable for regular operations here.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at EGEO come from the SE (135°) with an average speed of 10.8 knots and recorded gusts up to 36 knots. Calm winds are rare (0.1%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 01/19 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 7.4 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are September, February, January, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -3°C (27°F) to 18°C (64°F), averaging 8.7°C (48°F). Altimeter settings typically range from 9.84 to 9.95 inHg (333-337 hPa).
