Weather Briefing
VFRKlagenfurt Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (360°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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. 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, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 04:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 23:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 18:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Klagenfurt Airport
Overview
Klagenfurt Airport serves the Carinthia region in southern Austria, situated near the city of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. As a medium-sized airport with two runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the southeastern Austrian alpine terrain. The airport operates at an elevation of 1,472 feet mean sea level, positioned in a geographically strategic location.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Klagenfurt Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions prevailing 56.1% of the time. Pilots should anticipate potential challenges, as Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Low Instrument Flight Rules (LIFR) combine for 33.2% of observed conditions. Temperature ranges from -15°C to 27°C, with an average of 4.6°C, suggesting potential seasonal performance considerations.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 8,924-foot concrete runway (10L/28R) and a 2,427-foot grass runway (10R/28L). Prevailing winds consistently blow from the east (90 degrees) at an average speed of 3.6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 24 knots. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with a minimal average crosswind of 1.7 knots.
Approach Considerations
October, September, and November represent the most favorable months for Visual Flight Rules operations. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility. Pilots should be prepared for potential fog conditions, which are present 13.4% of the time, and maintain awareness of the alpine regional terrain when planning approaches.
