Weather Briefing

VFR

Maramureș International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 5,400 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 5 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 5400 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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 9 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, Thunderstorm Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 5 to 18 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 13:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 15:00Z and 18:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.
