Weather Briefing
VFRCelle Army Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 25,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 7 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 25000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,300 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C, indicating relatively dry conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 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, Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 14:00Z and 23:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 18:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Celle Army Airfield
Celle Army Airfield is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the DE AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Celle Army Airfield is a medium-sized airport located in Lower Saxony, Germany, serving primarily military aviation operations. Situated at 129 feet above mean sea level near the city of Celle, the airport provides strategic aviation infrastructure for Allied forces in the region.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly VFR conditions, with 69.4% of recorded METARs showing favorable visual flight rules. The airport experiences a moderate climate with temperature ranges from -14°C to 30°C, and consistent southwest winds averaging 6.8 knots. Seasonal data suggests September, October, and December offer the most stable VFR flying conditions.
Notable Features
The single runway 08/26 is 6,007 feet long with an asphalt surface, capable of handling medium-sized military aircraft. Wind data reveals 100% runway alignment favorability, with an average crosswind of only 3.8 knots, providing relatively comfortable approach and landing conditions for pilots.
Approach Considerations
Prevailing southwest winds at 225 degrees consistently influence approach strategies, with minimal turbulence and predictable wind patterns. The low percentage of IFR (7.1%) and extremely rare low IFR conditions (6.1%) suggest generally reliable visual approach opportunities throughout the year.
