Weather Briefing

VFR

Paris-Orly Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (280°) at 7 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,300 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
