Weather Briefing

VFR

Lampang Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 6 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain VFR throughout the forecast period.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

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