Weather Briefing
MVFRPhetchabun Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 3,000 feet and 7 km visibility. Note: This observation is 2.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 5 knots. Runway 36 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 3,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 21°C, indicating relatively dry 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.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
