Weather Briefing

MVFR

Skiros Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1308.9 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (360°) at 20 knots with gusts to 30 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 20-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component (gusting to 5 knots crosswind). Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. Gusty conditions may exceed demonstrated crosswind components for many general aviation aircraft. Check your aircraft's limitations.

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