Weather Briefing

VFR

Mykonos Island National Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (350°) at 16 knots. Runway 34 is favored with a 16-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 1,000 ft, scattered at 2,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 06:00Z and 15:00Z.

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 Mykonos Island National Airport

Overview

Mykonos Island National Airport serves the popular Aegean island of Mykonos, located in the Cyclades archipelago of Greece. As a medium-sized airport positioned at 405 ft above mean sea level, it supports regional and tourist air traffic with its single runway 16/34, which spans 6,240 feet of asphalt surface. The airport's strategic location makes it a critical transportation hub for the island's tourism and transportation infrastructure.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Mykonos are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 96.4% of observed conditions supporting visual flying. The prevailing winds from the north (0°) average 12.6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 2°C to 30°C, with an average of 18.1°C, providing stable flying conditions throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (16/34) is optimally aligned with the prevailing wind patterns, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of only 3.8 knots. Its geographic position in the Aegean Sea means pilots should be prepared for potential maritime wind influences and the surrounding island terrain. The low occurrence of adverse weather (minimal MVFR and virtually no IFR conditions) suggests generally predictable flying environments.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with no recorded instances of fog or significant low visibility events. The most consistent VFR conditions occur in November, September, and December, making these months particularly suitable for flights. With calm wind conditions present only 2.4% of the time, the runway's orientation provides reliable wind alignment for most approach and departure scenarios.
