Weather Briefing
LIFRRodez–Aveyron Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 9 knots. Runway 31 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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 24 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: Mist, Light RADZ. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 00:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light RADZ between 03:00Z and 08:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Rodez–Aveyron Airport
Overview
Rodez–Aveyron Airport serves the Aveyron region in southern France, situated at an elevation of 1,910 feet MSL. Located near the city of Rodez, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and serves both commercial and general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Rodez–Aveyron exhibit significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 48.9% of the time. Pilots should anticipate potential instrument meteorological conditions, as IFR and LIFR conditions combine for approximately 34.2% of observations. The airport experiences prevailing southeast winds at an average of 8.3 knots, with temperature ranges spanning from -13°C to 30°C.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 13/31 is 6,693 feet long with an asphalt surface, providing substantial landing capacity for regional aircraft. Its elevated terrain at 1,910 feet MSL requires careful performance calculations, particularly during temperature extremes. The statistical wind data indicates a highly favorable wind alignment, with runway 13/31 aligned favorably 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 3.3 knots.
Approach Considerations
Optimal VFR flying conditions occur during October, January, and September, offering the most consistent weather patterns. Pilots should be prepared for potential fog events, which occur in 14.1% of observations, and be aware of wind speeds that can occasionally reach up to 30 knots. The southeast prevailing winds suggest runway 13 will typically be the preferred approach direction.
