Weather Briefing

VFR

Diyarbakır Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 10,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 6 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 10000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 08:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 15:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations
