Weather Briefing
VFRBilbao Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,900 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3900 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Rain. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions between 03:00Z and 09:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions with Rain between 03:00Z and 11:00Z. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 09:00Z and 21:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Bilbao Airport
Overview
Bilbao Airport serves the Basque region in northern Spain, located near the city of Bilbao at an elevation of 138 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalted runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for both regional and commercial operations. The airport's strategic location supports transportation needs in this industrially significant area of Spain.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Bilbao Airport are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 82% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Temperature ranges from -1°C to 38°C, with an average of 13.9°C, creating relatively stable flying environments. Wind patterns are consistently easterly at an average of 6.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 31 knots, and calm conditions occurring 4.6% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 10/28 at 6,266 feet and 12/30 at 8,530 feet, both constructed with asphalted surfaces. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind (3.5-3.6 knots). Visibility is consistently high, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
October through December represent the best months for VFR flying, offering optimal meteorological conditions. The airport's dual runway configuration provides flexibility for approaches, with consistent wind patterns supporting predictable landing and takeoff scenarios. Pilots can expect minimal fog (1.9% of observations) and excellent visibility during most operational periods.
