Weather Briefing

IFR

Kutaisi West Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 5,200 feet and 3 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 10 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 1400 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,400 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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 Rain, Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 22:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 04:00Z and 15:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.
