Weather Briefing

VFR

Priština Adem Jashari International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (360°) at 8 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 4500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 9°C (48°F) with a dewpoint of 5°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. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

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