Weather Briefing
VFRYamoussoukro Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,100 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°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. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 10:00Z and 16:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
