Weather Briefing

VFR

Šiauliai International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 11 knots. Runway 14L/32R is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 800 ft, scattered at 1,400 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°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 9 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 09:00Z.

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.
