Weather Briefing

IFR

October Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with clear skies and 4 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 6 knots. Runway 01/19 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 30 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Haze, Mist. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Haze between 06:00Z and 08:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 01:00Z and 07:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions.
