Weather Briefing
MVFRBouaké Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,300 feet and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (300°) at 6 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,300 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 08:00Z and 11:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.
