Weather Briefing

MVFR

Monte Caseros Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (180°) at 6 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.

About Monte Caseros Airport

Overview

Monte Caseros Airport serves the urban area of Monte Caseros in Argentina, positioned at coordinates -30.271900, -57.640200. As a medium-sized airport, it supports regional aviation needs with two grass-equipped (GRE) runways accommodating various aircraft operations at an elevation of 170 feet mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

Located in northeastern Argentina, Monte Caseros Airport experiences typical subtropical climate conditions with potential significant wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather shifts that could impact runway 18/36 and 18L/36R operations, with grass surfaces requiring careful consideration during wet or transitional weather periods.

Notable Features

The airport features dual parallel runways (18/36) with lengths of 4,068 and 4,323 feet respectively, both grass-equipped surfaces. Its relatively low elevation of 170 feet MSL suggests a generally flat surrounding terrain typical of the Argentine regional landscape, which can influence wind patterns and approach dynamics.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation at 18/36 indicates potential north-south wind alignment, which may influence preferred approach directions. Pilots should carefully assess ground surface conditions on the grass runways, particularly during seasonal moisture variations, and plan approaches with awareness of the airport's moderate runway lengths and surface characteristics.
