Weather Briefing
MVFRPerpignan-Rivesaltes (Llabanère) Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 3,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 5 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2900 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 15 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 15:00Z and 19:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 20:00Z and 07:00Z.
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 Perpignan-Rivesaltes (Llabanère) Airport
Overview
Perpignan-Rivesaltes Airport serves the southern French region near the Spanish border, located at an elevation of 144 ft MSL. The airport accommodates medium-sized aircraft operations with two asphalted runways providing substantial landing capabilities. Its strategic location in the Pyrénées-Orientales department supports regional transportation and general aviation needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at LFMP demonstrate highly favorable flying environments, with VFR conditions present 77.8% of the time. Temperatures range from -1°C to 31°C, with an average of 13.7°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions. Wind patterns predominantly originate from the northwest at an average of 8.8 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 37 knots, offering consistent but occasionally challenging wind conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: 13/31 at 3,560 feet and 15/33 at 8,202 feet, providing flexibility for different aircraft types. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignments, with modest average crosswind components of 3.1 and 4.8 knots respectively. The geographical positioning near the Mediterranean coast likely contributes to the airport's relatively stable visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Optimal VFR flying conditions are most prevalent during autumn months, specifically November, September, and October. Pilots should anticipate predominantly northwestern winds and prepare for potential wind variations. The extensive 15/33 runway offers significant landing options, while the lower crosswind averages suggest generally straightforward approach and landing scenarios.
