Weather Briefing
VFRSatu Mare International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 8 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 17:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Satu Mare International Airport
Overview
Satu Mare International Airport serves the northeastern Romanian city of Satu Mare, situated near the Hungarian border. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 405 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and supports various aircraft operations in the area.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 67% of observations showing clear flying weather. Temperature ranges from -18°C to 29°C create diverse operational challenges, while wind patterns are consistently from the east at an average of 5.4 knots. Seasonal variations are notable, with September, October, and December offering the most favorable VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The single runway 01/19 spans 8,160 feet with concrete surface, providing substantial operational flexibility. Geographically positioned at coordinates 47.703300, 22.885700, the airport benefits from relatively stable wind conditions, with 100% favorable wind alignment for the primary runway. Low occurrence of extreme weather events is indicated by minimal fog (2.7%) and consistently good visibility (average 10 statute miles).
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19 presents predictable wind conditions with an average crosswind of only 4.1 knots, facilitating straightforward approach and landing procedures. The prevailing easterly winds at 90 degrees consistently support operations, and pilots can expect calm conditions approximately 8.2% of the time. Modern flight planning should leverage the comprehensive meteorological data to anticipate potential operational constraints.
