Weather Briefing

IFR

Deauville Normandie airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 7 knots. Runway 30 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 9 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 15:00Z and 17:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 22:00Z and 00:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions.

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

About Deauville Normandie airport

Overview

Deauville Normandie airport serves the Normandy coastal region of France, located near the historic town of Deauville. Situated at 479 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northeastern French coastal area. As a medium-sized airport, it supports regional and general aviation operations with its substantial 8,366-foot runway.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Deauville Normandie are predominantly VFR, with 43.6% of observations showing favorable visual flight rules. Pilots can expect significant variability, with MVFR conditions present 31.8% of the time and occasional IFR periods. Temperature ranges from -4°C to 30°C, with an average of 9.6°C, and wind typically from the south at an average of 8.9 knots, occasionally reaching up to 32 knots.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (12/30) is asphalted and demonstrates consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Its coastal location suggests potential for rapidly changing maritime weather patterns. The low percentage of calm wind conditions (1.3%) indicates consistent air movement that can impact approach and departure procedures.

Approach Considerations

Runway 12/30 experiences an average crosswind of 6.8 knots, which is generally manageable for most aircraft. Pilots should note the best VFR months are September, November, and January, offering more predictable flying conditions. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal fog occurrence (3% of observations), supporting generally reliable visual approaches.
