Weather Briefing
VFRBologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 7 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport
Overview
Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport serves as a critical transportation hub in northern Italy, located in the Emilia-Romagna region. Situated at an elevation of 123 feet MSL near the city of Bologna, this large airport plays a significant role in both commercial passenger and cargo operations for the region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 123 feet MSL suggests relatively mild terrain conditions with minimal altitude challenges for approach and landing. Bologna's geographic location typically experiences moderate continental climate patterns, which can produce variable wind conditions that pilots should carefully monitor during different seasons.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (12/30) with a substantial length of 9,196 feet, which accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements. Its coordinates at 44.535400, 11.288700 place it in a strategic position within the northern Italian transportation network, with surrounding terrain that is predominantly flat.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30's extended length of 9,196 feet provides excellent operational flexibility for most commercial and cargo aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components given the runway's orientation, and carefully review current meteorological conditions prior to approach, particularly during seasonal transition periods.
