Weather Briefing

VFR

Valladolid Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 11 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Mist. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 21:00Z and 03:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 02:00Z and 08:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Valladolid Airport

Overview

Valladolid Airport serves the Castilla y León region in central Spain, offering a strategic mid-country aviation hub. Located at an elevation of 2,776 feet MSL, the airport provides medium-scale aviation infrastructure with two runways supporting diverse operational needs. Its geographical position at coordinates 41.706100, -4.851940 places it in a continental climate zone typical of central Spain.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating at 70.9% of observations. Pilots can expect predominantly westerly winds averaging 8.1 knots, with potential gusts up to 33 knots. Temperature ranges from -6°C to 33°C, creating diverse meteorological challenges across seasons, with September through November offering the most consistent VFR conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: a primary 9,843-foot asphalted runway (05/23) and a secondary 2,976-foot grass runway (15/33). Both runways demonstrate favorable wind alignments, with 100% wind compatibility. The airport's elevation and inland location suggest potential for thermal variations and localized wind effects that pilots should anticipate during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection should prioritize 05/23 given its longer length and minimal average crosswind of 3.8 knots. Pilots should be prepared for potential visibility challenges, with 9.4% of observations indicating fog conditions. The statistical data suggests high predictability of approach conditions, with only 15.6% of observations falling into Marginal or Instrument Flight Rules categories.
