Weather Briefing

MVFR

San Sebastián Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 5 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2900 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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: Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Rain between 02:00Z and 11:00Z. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 09:00Z and 20:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 San Sebastián Airport

Overview

San Sebastián Airport serves the Basque region in northern Spain, located in Hondarribia near the border with France. Situated at 16 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the coastal and mountainous terrain of the region.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 83.5% of observations showing clear flying weather and only 3.6% reporting IFR conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the south at an average of 6.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots, and very few periods of calm winds (2.5% of observations).

Notable Features

The single runway 04/22 is 5,755 feet long with an asphalt surface, positioned to take full advantage of the local wind patterns. The airport's location near coastal and mountainous terrain suggests potential for complex local wind and terrain-induced weather variations that pilots should carefully evaluate during preflight planning.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22 demonstrates favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 3 knots. Pilots should note the temperature range from -3°C to 31°C, which can impact aircraft performance, and that the best VFR flying months are September, October, and November.
