Weather Briefing
IFRBrest Bretagne airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,400 feet and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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 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: Light Showers Rain, Mist. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 10:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 00:00Z and 05:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.

About Brest Bretagne airport
Overview
Brest Bretagne Airport serves the northwestern coastal region of Brittany, France, located at an elevation of 325 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalted runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Brest metropolitan area and surrounding regions. The airport supports diverse aviation operations with its substantial runway lengths and strategic coastal positioning.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Brest Bretagne Airport demonstrate significant variability, with instrument meteorological conditions prevalent. Historical observations indicate that 34.6% of recorded weather periods are Marginal VFR, while pure VFR conditions occur 30.8% of the time. Pilots should anticipate southerly winds averaging 10.5 knots, with potential gusts up to 34 knots, and temperatures ranging from -4°C to 20°C with an average of 10.4°C.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 07L/25R at 2,297 feet and 07R/25L extending 10,171 feet, providing operational flexibility. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment and consistent average crosswind conditions of 6.5 knots. The coastal location suggests potential for rapidly changing maritime weather patterns, particularly during transitional seasons.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and December represent the most favorable VFR months for operations at Brest Bretagne Airport. Fog occurs in approximately 5.1% of observations, with an average visibility of 10 statute miles. Pilots should prepare for potential reduced visibility and maritime weather influences, particularly during approach and departure phases.
