Weather Briefing
VFRUrmia Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 10 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,500 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 29°C (84°F) with a dewpoint of 9°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z and 18:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
