Weather Briefing
MVFROban Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,900 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 11 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 13°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 5 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, RADZ. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain between 12:00Z and 17:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with RADZ between 12:00Z and 14:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Oban Airport
Oban Airport (EGEO/OBN) is located in North Connel, GB at an elevation of 20 feet MSL. The airport has 2 runways (01/19, 04/22), with the longest at 4,147 feet.
Weather Profile
With VFR conditions only 68.6% of the time based on 3,615 observations, EGEO requires careful weather planning. IFR conditions occur in 3.3% of reports, and instrument proficiency is advisable for regular operations here.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at EGEO come from the SE (135°) with an average speed of 10.5 knots and recorded gusts up to 36 knots. Calm winds are rare (0.1%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 01/19 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 7.3 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are September, May, April, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -3°C (27°F) to 27°C (81°F), averaging 10.1°C (50°F). Altimeter settings typically range from 9.84 to 9.95 inHg (333-337 hPa).
