Weather Briefing
VFRCorfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 12 knots. Runway 34 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 8-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
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. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport
Overview
Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport serves the Ionian island of Kerkyra in Greece, providing critical air transportation infrastructure for this Mediterranean tourism and regional connectivity hub. Located at a low elevation of 6 feet MSL, the airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with its 7,792-foot asphalt runway.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 81.6% of the time, with minimal IFR or LIFR occurrences. Wind patterns are consistently from the southeast (135°) at an average of 8.9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots and calm conditions present 37.3% of the time. Temperature ranges from 1°C to 32°C, with an average of 16.2°C, providing generally stable flying conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (16/34) offers favorable wind alignment, with crosswinds averaging only 4.8 knots. Its low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for maritime environmental influences, including potential sea breezes and localized wind variations typical of island airports. Pilots should anticipate consistent southeastern wind patterns when planning approaches and departures.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and December represent the best VFR months for operations, offering optimal visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The runway's orientation and prevailing wind conditions from 135° suggest runway 16/34 will typically provide the most favorable wind alignment for most approaches, minimizing crosswind challenges during landing and takeoff.
