Weather Briefing

MVFR

Annecy Meythet 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 south-southeast (160°) at 8 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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: Showers Rain, Thunderstorm RAGS. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Thunderstorm RAGS between 11:00Z and 19:00Z.

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 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.
