Weather Briefing
MVFRMareeba Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,700 feet.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (170°) at 12 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
The ceiling is 2700 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 21 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain, Showers Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 16 knots.
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 Mareeba Airport
Overview
Mareeba Airport is a medium airport located in Mareeba, Queensland, Australia, situated at coordinates -17.070277, 145.424228. The airport sits at an elevation of 1560 feet above mean sea level, serving regional aviation needs in the Far North Queensland area.
Flying Conditions
Located in a tropical region, Mareeba Airport experiences significant seasonal weather variations typical of northern Australian climates. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations along the 10/28 runway, which measures 4,938 feet in length and is asphalted, providing substantial landing and takeoff options.
Notable Features
The airport's relatively high elevation at 1,560 feet MSL means aircraft performance calculations must account for density altitude effects, particularly during warmer periods. Its single asphalt runway (10/28) provides flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types operating in the region.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should consider the runway's 4,938-foot length and the airport's elevated terrain. Pilots should be prepared for potential thermal and orographic effects common in the surrounding mountainous landscape of Far North Queensland when planning arrivals and departures.
