Weather Briefing
VFRSantorini Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 18 knots. Runway 33 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 18-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,800 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 VFR throughout the forecast period.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
