Weather Briefing

VFR

Šiauliai International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,700 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (260°) at 12 knots. Runway 32 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3700 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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 9 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: Showers Rain, Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 02:00Z and 06:00Z.

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.
