Weather Briefing

MVFR

Brno-Tuřany Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 7 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 5 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 22 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: Light Rain, Rain, Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain between 02:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Rain, Mist between 02:00Z and 12:00Z.

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 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.
