Weather Briefing

VFR

Gomel Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 9 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 6 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 km. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 13°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. 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: Mist, Light Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 20:00Z and 04:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 06:00Z and 18:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.
