Weather Briefing
IFRParis-Orly Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,000 feet and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 12 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,000 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 12°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 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, Light Showers Rain. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 19:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 19:00Z and 23:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions.
