VFRPalma de Mallorca Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 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: Mist. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 15 knots. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.
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 Palma de Mallorca Airport
Overview
Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA) serves as the primary international gateway for the Balearic Islands, located on the island of Mallorca, Spain. As a large airport situated at 27 feet above mean sea level, it handles significant commercial and tourist traffic, connecting the Balearic archipelago with mainland Europe and international destinations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's Mediterranean coastal location influences its weather patterns, typically characterized by stable conditions with moderate winds. Given its low elevation of 27 ft MSL, pilots can expect generally mild atmospheric conditions, though seasonal variations can impact wind directions across the two parallel runways (06L/24R and 06R/24L).
Notable Features
Palma de Mallorca Airport features two substantial asphalt runways: 06L/24R at 10,728 feet and 06R/24L at 9,842 feet in length. The parallel runway configuration provides operational flexibility, allowing simultaneous approaches and departures while accommodating various aircraft types from regional commuters to large international jets.
Approach Considerations
Approach considerations at LEPA are influenced by the airport's dual runway system, with runway headings of 060/240 degrees. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the airport's coastal positioning, and remain prepared to utilize either runway based on prevailing wind directions and air traffic control instructions.
