Weather Briefing

MVFR

Witham Field is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,900 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (90°) at 13 knots with gusts to 21 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 12-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component (gusting to 7 knots crosswind).

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 1900 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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 22 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
