Weather Briefing
LIFRTrabzon International Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 300 feet and 2.5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 6 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 2.5 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 8°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. 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: Light Showers Rain, Mist, Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 11:00Z and 13:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain, Mist between 13:00Z and 16:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
