Weather Briefing

VFR

Phitsanulok Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,000 ft, scattered at 2,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 20:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 12:00Z.

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.
