Weather Briefing

MVFR

Gmunden-Laakirchen Airfield is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,200 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 5 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 3200 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 15:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 11:00Z and 14:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
