Weather Briefing
MVFRNakhon Si Thammarat Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,800 feet and 6 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 5 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,800 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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: Thunderstorm Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 3 to 15 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.
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.
