Weather Briefing

VFR

Tampere-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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
