Weather Briefing
VFRMareeba Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,900 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 16 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 14-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3800 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain.
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 Mareeba Airport
Overview
Mareeba Airport is a medium airport located in Mareeba, Queensland, Australia, situated at coordinates -17.070277, 145.424228. The airport sits at an elevation of 1560 feet above mean sea level, serving regional aviation needs in the Far North Queensland area.
Flying Conditions
Located in a tropical region, Mareeba Airport experiences significant seasonal weather variations typical of northern Australian climates. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations along the 10/28 runway, which measures 4,938 feet in length and is asphalted, providing substantial landing and takeoff options.
Notable Features
The airport's relatively high elevation at 1,560 feet MSL means aircraft performance calculations must account for density altitude effects, particularly during warmer periods. Its single asphalt runway (10/28) provides flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types operating in the region.
Approach Considerations
Approach planning should consider the runway's 4,938-foot length and the airport's elevated terrain. Pilots should be prepared for potential thermal and orographic effects common in the surrounding mountainous landscape of Far North Queensland when planning arrivals and departures.
