Weather Briefing

MVFR

Curuzu Cuatia Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 4,000 feet and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 8.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 7 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 7-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 4000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 16°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.
