Weather Briefing
MVFRKerteh Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the variable directions at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 800 ft, scattered at 2,000 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 22 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: Light Thunderstorm Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 21:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 09:00Z 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.
