Weather Briefing

MVFR

Aktobe Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,500 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 5500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 5,500 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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, Thunderstorm Rain, Mist, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain, Mist between 15:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 03:00Z and 12:00Z.

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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
