Weather Briefing

MVFR

Moorea Temae Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 9 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2300 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 30 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: Showers Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 18 knots. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 00:00Z.

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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Moorea Temae Airport

Overview

Moorea Temae Airport serves the island of Moorea in French Polynesia, located approximately 17 kilometers northwest of Tahiti. As a medium-sized airport situated at a low elevation of 9 feet mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this Pacific island community. The airport supports regional and tourist air traffic in this scenic part of the South Pacific.

Flying Conditions

Moorea's tropical maritime location typically presents warm and humid meteorological conditions with potential rapid weather changes. The single runway 12/30, measuring 4,035 feet long and surfaced with asphalt, is oriented to accommodate prevailing wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and localized wind shifts common in island environments.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic position on Moorea island presents unique terrain considerations for approach and departure. Surrounded by mountainous landscape, pilots must maintain heightened terrain awareness during all flight phases. The airport's coordinates (-17.489790, -149.761777) indicate its position in a complex topographical environment requiring precise navigation.

Approach Considerations

Runway 12/30's asphalt surface provides consistent landing conditions across its 4,035-foot length. Given the island's terrain, stabilized approaches and careful energy management are critical for safe operations. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variability and prepare for potential crosswind conditions typical of island airport environments.
