Weather Briefing

MVFR

Ibadan Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 15.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 5 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,900 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
