Weather Briefing

VFR

Tekirdağ Çorlu Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 7,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (360°) at 17 knots. Runway 04/22 is favored with a 13-knot headwind and 11-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 7000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

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