Weather Briefing
MVFRKumasi Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 5 knots. Runway 20 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
