Weather Briefing
VFRSüleyman Demirel International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northwest (310°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 6°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. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 2 to 15 knots. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
