Weather Briefing

MVFR

Copernicus Wrocław Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 4,400 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northwest (340°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 4400 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 12°C (54°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: Rain, Showers Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 16 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 18:00Z and 08:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 10:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 10:00Z and 16:00Z.

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.
