Weather Briefing
MVFRTeniente Coronel Rafael Pabón Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1300 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 19°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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.
