Weather Briefing

MVFR

Vladivostok International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 9 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (140°) at 8 knots. Runway 16/34 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 km. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 21:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.

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.

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