Weather Briefing

VFR

Melun-Villaroche Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 9 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 14°C (57°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.

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.
