Weather Briefing
VFRPaphos International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 5 knots. Runway 29 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,200 ft, few at 3,000 ft (TCU). Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 31°C (88°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions between 12:00Z and 14:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 20:00Z and 06:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
