Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 11°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 12:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 21:00Z and 07:00Z. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 21:00Z and 07:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Lielvarde Air Base
Lielvarde Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the LV AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Lielvarde Air Base (EVGA) is located in Lielvarde, LV at an elevation of 200 feet MSL. The airport has 1 runway (18/36), with the longest at 8,202 feet.
Weather Profile
With VFR conditions only 64.8% of the time based on 13,364 observations, EVGA requires careful weather planning. IFR conditions occur in 21% of reports, and instrument proficiency is advisable for regular operations here.
Wind Patterns & Runway Selection
Prevailing winds at EVGA come from the S (180°) with an average speed of 6.9 knots. Calm winds are rare (2.6%), so crosswind considerations are a regular factor. Runway 18/36 offers the lowest average crosswind component at 3.9 knots, making it the preferred choice in typical wind conditions.
Seasonal Considerations
The best months for VFR operations are April, March, June, when clear skies are most prevalent. Temperatures at the field range from -27°C (-17°F) to 29°C (84°F), averaging 4.7°C (40°F). Cold weather operations require attention to aircraft preheating, de-icing, and cold-soaked fuel management. Altimeter settings typically range from 9.88 to 10.37 inHg (335-351 hPa).
