Weather Briefing
VFRGanja International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (100°) at 6 knots. Runway 12/30 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3300 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 16°C (61°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 fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain, Light Showers Rain. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 15:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
