VFRPalanga International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northwest (330°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 2°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. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 15 knots. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 12:00Z and 17:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 00:00Z and 08:00Z. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 08:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.
