Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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 12 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 Cloncurry Airport
Overview
Cloncurry Airport serves the remote mining and agricultural regions of northwestern Queensland, Australia. Located at coordinates -20.668600, 140.503998, the airport provides critical infrastructure for regional transportation in this mineral-rich area. The airport operates as a medium-sized facility supporting commercial, charter, and potential resource sector aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Situated at an elevation of 616 feet mean sea level, Cloncurry Airport experiences typical inland Australian climate conditions with significant temperature variations. The airport's two asphalted runways (06/24 at 3,796 ft and 12/30 at 6,562 ft) provide flexibility for aircraft operations across different wind conditions and seasonal meteorological changes.
Notable Features
The airport's substantial runway lengths accommodate a diverse range of aircraft types, with the 12/30 runway offering extended operational capabilities at 6,562 feet. Its inland location suggests potential for thermal and wind variations typical of central Queensland's terrain, which pilots should carefully assess during pre-flight planning.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should note the two perpendicular runway configurations (06/24 and 12/30), which provide options for landing based on prevailing wind conditions. The longer 12/30 runway offers enhanced operational flexibility, particularly for larger aircraft or during challenging meteorological scenarios.
