Weather Briefing
MVFRWarton Aerodrome is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 15 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
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: Heavy Showers Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Heavy Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 11:00Z and 16:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Warton Aerodrome
Overview
Warton Aerodrome is a medium-sized airport located in Lancashire, United Kingdom, positioned at 53.745098, -2.883060. Situated at an elevation of 55 feet above mean sea level, the airport features two asphalt runways that provide significant operational flexibility for aircraft movements.
Flying Conditions
Historical weather data indicates predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 69.3% of observations showing good visual flying conditions. The prevailing wind is from the south at 180° with an average speed of 9.5 knots, and temperature ranges from -7°C to 20°C, creating generally stable flying environments. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with minimal average crosswind components of 6 knots or less.
Notable Features
The airport's two runways offer different lengths and orientations, with Runway 07/25 providing a substantial 7,946-foot surface and Runway 14/32 offering a 4,189-foot alternative. The terrain surrounding Warton Aerodrome appears relatively flat, consistent with its low elevation of 55 feet MSL, which suggests minimal terrain-related approach challenges.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent wind alignment for both runways, with minimal crosswind interference. November, September, and December represent the most consistent VFR months, offering the most predictable flying conditions. The extremely low occurrence of fog (0.9%) and consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles further enhance approach reliability.
