Weather Briefing
MVFRNakhon Si Thammarat Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 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 north-northwest (330°) at 7 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 13:00Z.
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.
