VFR

Liège Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 10 knots. Runway 22 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,800 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 13°C (55°F) with a dewpoint of 9°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 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm RAGR. Winds are forecast to reach up to 20 knots during the period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 8 to 20 knots. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 09:00Z and 22:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Heavy Thunderstorm RAGR between 12:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions between 01:00Z and 07:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
