Weather Briefing

MVFR

Limnos Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,000 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 14 knots with gusts to 24 knots. Runway 04R/22L is favored with a 14-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component (gusting to 4 knots crosswind).

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 11°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 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Rain between 06:00Z and 15:00Z.

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.
