Weather Briefing
VFRPiešťany Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north (360°) at 5 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. Winds are forecast to reach up to 21 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 9 to 21 knots. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 03:00Z.
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.
