Weather Briefing
MVFRZagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 3,000 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 18 knots. Runway 04/22 is favored with a 18-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component. Student pilots and low-time aviators should exercise caution.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft (CB). Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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 fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 2 to 18 knots. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 19:00Z and 22:00Z.
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 narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport
Overview
Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport serves as the primary international airport for Croatia, located in Velika Gorica near Zagreb. Situated at 353 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region, handling both commercial passenger and cargo operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 353 feet MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potentially moderate terrain interactions. Pilots should anticipate standard continental European weather patterns, which typically involve variable conditions with potential seasonal temperature and wind variations.
Notable Features
The airport features a substantial runway 04/22 measuring 10,669 feet in length, accommodating large commercial aircraft with ample space for takeoff and landing operations. Its geographic coordinates at 45.742901, 16.068800 position the airport in a relatively flat region of Croatia, which should provide predictable approach and departure conditions.
Approach Considerations
With a single runway oriented at 04/22, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing wind conditions. The extensive 10,669-foot asphalt runway provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types and approach requirements.
