Weather Briefing

MVFR

Brno-Tuřany Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 700 feet and 5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southwest (210°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 700 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 18°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain, Showers Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 00:00Z and 01:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 18:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

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