Weather Briefing

VFR

Cairo Regional Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 6,500 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (190°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 6500 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 25°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.
