Weather Briefing
VFRKédougou Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 2.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (80°) at 8 knots. Runway 11/29 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,000 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
