Weather Briefing
MVFRRabat-Salé Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,300 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 6 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 3300 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Rabat-Salé Airport
Overview
Rabat-Salé Airport serves the capital region of Morocco, located strategically near Rabat and Salé. As a large airport with significant runway capacity at 11,483 feet, it supports both civilian and potentially military aviation operations. The airport sits at an elevation of 276 feet above mean sea level, providing relatively flat terrain for aircraft movements.
Flying Conditions
Morocco's coastal location means Rabat-Salé experiences maritime influences in its weather patterns, with potential sea breezes and variable visibility. The airport's moderate elevation suggests generally stable atmospheric conditions without extreme altitude challenges. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the proximity to the Atlantic coast and urban terrain.
Notable Features
The single runway (03/21) is constructed of asphalt, offering a substantial 11,483-foot length suitable for wide-body and long-haul aircraft operations. Its geographical positioning near the Atlantic coastline means potential maritime weather influences and potential wind shear considerations. The airport's coordinates at 34.051498, -6.751520 place it in a region with complex coastal meteorological dynamics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21's extended length provides flexibility for diverse aircraft types and approach profiles. The 276-foot elevation suggests minimal terrain complexity for approach procedures. Pilots should maintain awareness of potential coastal wind conditions that could impact approach and landing characteristics, particularly during seasonal transition periods.
