Forecast Periods
📖 Plain English Explanation:
This is the base forecast condition. Winds from the North (360°) at 10kt. Gusts up to 20kt are expected. Visibility will be excellent at 10+ km. Broken clouds at 10000 feet, Overcast skies at 14000 feet. Conditions will be suitable for Visual Flight Rules (VFR) operations.
📖 Plain English Explanation:
Temporary conditions (lasting less than an hour at a time) may include: Visibility will be good at 8 km. Weather conditions: Light Rain. Broken clouds at 1000 feet, Overcast skies at 1700 feet. Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) conditions - instrument flying required.
📖 Plain English Explanation:
Conditions will gradually change to become: Winds from the North-Northwest (330°) at 10kt. Gusts up to 22kt are expected. Visibility will be excellent at 10+ km. Weather conditions: Light Rain. Few clouds at 1000 feet, Overcast skies at 1800 feet. Marginal VFR conditions - some restrictions for visual flying.
📖 Plain English Explanation:
Conditions will gradually change to become: Winds from the North-Northwest (330°) at 15kt. Gusts up to 28kt are expected. Visibility will be excellent at 10+ km. Weather conditions: Light Rain. Overcast skies at 1700 feet. Marginal VFR conditions - some restrictions for visual flying.
📖 Plain English Explanation:
Conditions will gradually change to become: Winds from the Northwest (320°) at 15kt. Gusts up to 32kt are expected. Visibility will be excellent at 10+ km. Weather conditions: Light Showers Rain. Broken clouds at 1000 feet, Overcast skies at 1700 feet. Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) conditions - instrument flying required.
📖 Plain English Explanation:
Temporary conditions (lasting less than an hour at a time) may include: Visibility will be moderate at 4.8 km. Weather conditions: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Broken clouds at 1000 feet, Overcast skies at 1700 feet. Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) conditions - instrument flying required.
📖 Plain English Explanation:
Conditions will gradually change to become: Winds from the West-Northwest (300°) at 12kt. Gusts up to 28kt are expected. Visibility will be good at 9 km. Weather conditions: Light Rain. Scattered clouds at 900 feet, Overcast skies at 1600 feet. Marginal VFR conditions - some restrictions for visual flying.
📖 Plain English Explanation:
Conditions will gradually change to become: Winds from the West-Northwest (300°) at 10kt. Gusts up to 22kt are expected. Visibility will be moderate at 1.509 km. Weather conditions: Light Rain. Broken clouds at 900 feet, Overcast skies at 1600 feet. Low IFR conditions - challenging even for instrument operations.
📚 Understanding TAF Forecasts
Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) provides detailed weather forecasts specifically for aviation operations. Our system translates complex meteorological codes into plain English to help pilots of all experience levels understand forecasted conditions.
What TAF Includes:
- • Wind direction, speed, and gusts
- • Visibility in statute miles or kilometers
- • Weather phenomena (rain, snow, fog, thunderstorms)
- • Cloud coverage types and altitudes
- • Forecast changes with timing
- • Flight rules categories (VFR/IFR)
Change Indicators Explained:
- • BASE - Main forecast conditions
- • FM - Permanent change from specific time
- • BECMG - Gradual change over 2-4 hours
- • TEMPO - Temporary changes (less than 1 hour)
- • PROB30/40 - 30% or 40% probability
🛩️ Flight Rules Categories
VFR
Visual Flight Rules
- • Ceiling ≥ 3000 ft
- • Visibility ≥ 5 miles
- • Good for visual flying
MVFR
Marginal VFR
- • Ceiling 1000-3000 ft
- • Visibility 3-5 miles
- • Caution for VFR
IFR
Instrument Flight Rules
- • Ceiling 500-1000 ft
- • Visibility 1-3 miles
- • Instruments required
LIFR
Low IFR
- • Ceiling < 500 ft
- • Visibility < 1 mile
- • Challenging conditions
💡 TAF Reading Tips
For Student Pilots:
- • Focus on the plain English explanations above
- • Pay attention to flight rules categories
- • Look for wind direction relative to runway headings
- • Check for temporary conditions (TEMPO)
For Experienced Pilots:
- • Cross-reference with raw TAF for precise timing
- • Consider probability forecasts for alternate planning
- • Monitor BECMG periods for gradual changes
- • Always check current METAR vs TAF forecast
Important: TAF forecasts should always be supplemented with current METAR observations, PIREPs, and other weather information for complete situational awareness. Weather can change rapidly, and forecasts have inherent limitations.
