Clouds - Visual Profile
Weather Briefing
MVFRJēkabpils Air Base is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 5 knots. Runway 25 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,300 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 07:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 18:00Z and 03:00Z. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 18:00Z and 03:00Z.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Jēkabpils Air Base
Jēkabpils Air Base is a military facility. Civilian access may be restricted or require Prior Permission (PPR). Pilots should consult the LV AIP for current access procedures and restrictions.
Overview
Jēkabpils Air Base is a medium-sized airport located in central Latvia, situated at an elevation of 289 feet above mean sea level. Positioned at coordinates 56.534698, 25.892500, the airport serves the Jēkabpils region with its single runway 07/25, which measures 2,361 feet in length and is constructed of concrete.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation and central Latvian location suggest varied seasonal weather conditions that pilots should anticipate. With an elevation of 289 feet, the airport is positioned in a relatively flat terrain zone, which typically means stable atmospheric conditions but potential for wind variations across different seasons.
Notable Features
The concrete runway (07/25) provides a stable surface for aircraft operations, spanning 2,361 feet in length. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, which pilots should carefully assess during approach and landing phases. The airport's geographic position in central Latvia indicates a landscape likely characterized by mixed terrain and moderate elevation changes.
Approach Considerations
Runway 07/25 provides a standard approach environment for medium-sized aircraft operations. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind shifts given the runway's east-west orientation, and carefully assess current meteorological conditions prior to arrival. The concrete runway surface offers reliable ground handling characteristics across different weather conditions.
