Weather Briefing
VFRMontreal International (Mirabel) Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 25,000 feet and 30 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 5 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 30 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 25,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 2°C (36°F) with a dewpoint of -2°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. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: FCST.

About Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport
Overview
Montreal International (Mirabel) Airport serves the Greater Montreal region as a strategic medium-sized airport located northwest of Montreal. Situated at 270 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Quebec area. Its two substantial runways support diverse aviation operations across commercial, cargo, and potential general aviation segments.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly favorable flying conditions, with 64.8% of observations reporting VFR conditions. The airport experiences significant seasonal temperature variation, ranging from -29°C to 27°C, with an average temperature of 0°C. Wind patterns are consistently from the west (270°) at an average of 5.5 knots, with calm conditions occurring 12.1% of the time and maximum gusts reaching 18 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two concrete runways: a primary 12,000-foot runway (06/24) and a secondary 8,852-foot runway (11/29). Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. Crosswind conditions are minimal, averaging 1.9 knots on runway 06/24 and 3.9 knots on runway 11/29, which provides flexible operational capabilities for arriving and departing aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Visibility averaging 21.9 statute miles supports reliable approaches, though pilots should be prepared for occasional reduced conditions. September, October, and December offer the most consistent VFR conditions. Low IFR and LIFR conditions occur in 15.5% of observations, primarily during winter months. Pilots should anticipate potential reduced visibility scenarios, with fog present in approximately 3% of observations.
