Weather Briefing

VFR

Bingöl Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1288.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 6°C (43°F) with a dewpoint of 6°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.

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