Weather Briefing
IFRFrosinone Air Base is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,500 feet and 4 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 13°C (55°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. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 09:00Z and 12:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.
