Weather Briefing

IFR

Sidi Bel Abbes Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,000 feet and 3 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.
