Weather Briefing
VFRPoprad-Tatry Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4400 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 4,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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, Thunderstorm Rain, Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 2 to 14 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 11:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 18:00Z and 06:00Z.
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 Poprad-Tatry Airport
Overview
Poprad-Tatry Airport serves the High Tatras region in Slovakia, situated at an elevation of 2,356 feet MSL near the city of Poprad. As a medium-sized airport, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in this mountainous area of central Europe, supporting regional and potentially international flight operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Poprad-Tatry are predominantly VFR, with 67.8% of observations showing good visual flight conditions. Pilots can expect significant variability, with MVFR and IFR conditions present 26.4% of the time. Prevailing westerly winds average 7.8 knots, with temperature ranges from -16°C to 26°C creating diverse atmospheric conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 09/27 extends 8,530 feet and is constructed of concrete, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its high elevation and proximity to mountainous terrain require careful navigation and awareness of potential wind and terrain interactions. The surrounding geography of the High Tatras presents unique meteorological and topographical challenges for pilots.
Approach Considerations
Runway 09/27 offers favorable wind conditions 100% of the time, with an average crosswind of only 2.8 knots. Optimal VFR months include October, September, and January, providing more predictable flying conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential fog (13.3% occurrence) and variable visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles but potential for reduced visual references.
