Weather Briefing
VFRLondon Biggin Hill Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 4,600 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 9 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 4,600 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 9 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, Heavy Thunderstorm Hail. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Heavy Thunderstorm Hail between 18:00Z and 19:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions between 02:00Z and 03:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About London Biggin Hill Airport
Overview
London Biggin Hill Airport serves as a strategic medium-sized airport located in the Greater London area, positioned at 51.330799, 0.032500. Situated at an elevation of 598 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation services with two asphalted runways supporting varied flight operations. Its proximity to London makes it a significant regional aviation facility.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 58.7% of the time, with MVFR conditions occurring in 19.9% of observations. Wind patterns are consistently from the south at 180° with an average speed of 10 knots, occasionally reaching maximum speeds of 25 knots. Temperature ranges widely from -5°C to 25°C, with an average of 8.6°C, suggesting pilots should be prepared for significant seasonal variations.
Notable Features
Both runways (03/21 and 11/29) demonstrate favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. Runway 03/21 spans 5,925 feet, while runway 11/29 is shorter at 2,598 feet, providing flexibility for different aircraft types. The airport's low occurrence of low visibility conditions (fog at only 1.5%) and consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles supports reliable operations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal flying conditions during September, October, and November, which represent the best VFR months. Crosswind components are moderate, averaging 4.8 knots for runway 03/21 and 7.8 knots for runway 11/29. The consistent southern wind direction provides predictable approach and departure patterns for most aircraft operations.
