Weather Briefing
MVFRLiepāja International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 12 knots. Runway 24 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 9-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
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 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain, Fog. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 06:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 00:00Z and 04:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Liepāja International Airport
Overview
Liepāja International Airport serves the western Latvian coastal city of Liepāja, positioned at an elevation of 16 feet MSL. The airport operates a single runway (06/24) measuring 6,568 feet in length, capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations. Its strategic location on Latvia's western coastline provides important regional aviation connectivity.
Flying Conditions
Statistical data indicates predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 54.7% of observations supporting visual flight rules. The airport experiences a moderate maritime climate, with temperatures ranging from -19°C to 23°C and an average of 4.9°C. Wind patterns are consistently southerly (180°), averaging 7.9 knots with occasional gusts up to 25 knots, presenting mild to moderate wind challenges.
Notable Features
Located near the Baltic Sea coast, Liepāja Airport's geographical positioning influences its weather patterns and operational characteristics. The airport's single runway (06/24) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of only 4.8 knots. Low fog occurrence (0.7%) and consistently good visibility (average 10 statute miles) contribute to reliable flight operations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal flying conditions during September, October, and January, which represent the best VFR months statistically. The runway's orientation and wind statistics suggest minimal wind-related approach complications. With calm wind conditions present 2.1% of the time and predictable southerly winds, most approaches can be planned with high confidence in standard meteorological parameters.
