Weather Briefing

VFR

Udine-Rivolto Air Base is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 4,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (350°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 4,000 ft, scattered at 6,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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.
