Weather Briefing
MVFRTan Tan Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,000 feet and 7 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 19 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 19-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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 Tan Tan Airport
Overview
Tan Tan Airport serves the coastal region of southern Morocco, located at coordinates 28.448200, -11.161300. Situated at an elevation of 653 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Tan Tan municipal area. The airport features a single runway (03/21) with a 6,562-foot asphalted surface.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates predominantly marginal VFR conditions, with 57% of observations in MVFR and 33% in standard VFR. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 8°C to 41°C with an average of 19°C. Wind patterns are consistently from the north (0°), averaging 11.4 knots with occasional gusts up to 32 knots, which pilots should anticipate during approach and landing.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical position suggests a coastal environment with potential for maritime weather influences. Visibility is generally excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal fog occurrence (1.9% of observations). The terrain surrounding Tan Tan Airport likely reflects the transitional landscape between coastal and desert regions of southern Morocco.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 5.1 knots. December, November, and January represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should prepare for potential wind variations and be mindful of the broad temperature range when planning flights to this location.
