Weather Briefing
VFRTenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 19 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 19-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 400 ft, scattered at 1,100 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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 24 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: Patches Fog. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Patches Fog between 09:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z and 17:00Z. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 14:00Z 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.
