Weather Briefing

VFR

Lomé–Tokoin International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 7 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,100 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 28°C (82°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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 30 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

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.
