Weather Briefing
IFRKaunas International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 11 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 900 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
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 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. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 08:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions between 00:00Z and 08:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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 Kaunas International Airport
Overview
Kaunas International Airport serves as a strategic medium-sized airport located in Lithuania, positioned at 54.963902N, 24.084801E with an elevation of 256 feet MSL. The airport operates a single runway (08/26) measuring 10,663 feet in length, constructed with asphalt surface, supporting both commercial and general aviation operations in the Kaunas region.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate highly variable flying conditions, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing 42.7% of the time and marginal VFR conditions occurring 26.4% of observations. Temperature ranges dramatically from -18°C to 27°C, with an average of 3.3°C, suggesting significant seasonal temperature fluctuations that pilots must consider during flight planning.
Notable Features
The airport experiences predominantly southerly winds (180°) averaging 6.6 knots, with maximum recorded gusts of 24 knots and calm conditions present 4.4% of the time. Visibility remains consistently good, averaging 10 statute miles, with rare instances of reduced visibility and minimal fog occurrence (4.4% of observations).
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind component of only 4.1 knots. Pilots should note September, October, and January offer the most consistently favorable VFR conditions, potentially simplifying approach and landing operations during these months.
