Weather Briefing

MVFR

Valencia Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 10 knots. Runway 04/22 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 18°C (64°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.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.

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 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.

About Valencia Airport

Overview

Valencia Airport serves the metropolitan area of Valencia, located on Spain's eastern coast. As a large airport with two substantial runways (04/22 at 5,394 ft and 12/30 at 8,858 ft), it supports significant commercial and potentially military aviation operations. The airport sits at an elevation of 240 feet mean sea level, situated near the coastal region of Valencia.

Flying Conditions

Mediterranean climate influences the airport's weather patterns, typically characterized by mild temperatures and relatively stable conditions. Pilots can expect generally good visibility and moderate wind conditions, though seasonal variations may impact flight operations. The airport's coastal location suggests potential for sea breezes and occasional maritime weather influences.

Notable Features

The airport features two asphalted runways with significant length, providing operational flexibility for different aircraft types. Its geographic position near Valencia offers strategic access to the eastern Spanish coastline, with terrain that transitions from coastal plains to more varied landscape. The airport's coordinates (39.489300, -0.481625) place it in a region with generally predictable meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 12/30, being the longer runway at 8,858 feet, likely serves as the primary approach for larger aircraft and during more challenging wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the airport's coastal location, with runway 04/22 providing an alternative approach heading. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended based on prevailing wind and weather conditions.
