Weather Briefing

MVFR

Phitsanulok Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (350°) at 5 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C, indicating moderate moisture 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 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: Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 00:00Z and 06:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 08:00Z 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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

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