Weather Briefing

VFR

Monbetsu Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 6,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 14.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 25 knots with gusts to 37 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 22-knot headwind and 13-knot crosswind component (gusting to 19 knots crosswind). These are strong winds that may exceed crosswind limits for light aircraft.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 6000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 0°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
