Weather Briefing
MVFRTrabzon International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,300 feet and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 3300 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°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. 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 Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 2 to 20 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 07:00Z and 11:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 11:00Z and 15:00Z.
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.
