Weather Briefing
VFRTampere-Pirkkala Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 6 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,400 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 21:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 05:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 07:00Z and 21:00Z.
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.
