Weather Briefing

MVFR

Leicester Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 8 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1200 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 02:00Z and 07:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 09:00Z and 18:00Z.

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.

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