Weather Briefing

MVFR

Ifran Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 10 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 4,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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 30 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: Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Rain between 00:00Z and 03:00Z.

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 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.
