Weather Briefing

VFR

Gliwice-Trynek Airfield is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 9 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4400 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,400 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 11°C (52°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: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain, Light Rain, Mist. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 18 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 19:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z and 19:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 19:00Z and 06:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.

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