Weather Briefing
LIFRSanta Bernardina International Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 800 feet and 1.5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (190°) at 12 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 11-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is severely reduced to 1.5 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (overcast). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Drizzle, Mist, Thunderstorm Rain, Fog. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 6 to 18 knots. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 02:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 18:00Z and 00:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours.

About Santa Bernardina International Airport
Overview
Santa Bernardina International Airport serves Durazno, Uruguay, as a medium-sized airport located at coordinates -33.358898, -56.499199. Situated at 305 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region. Its two runways enable diverse aircraft operations in central Uruguay.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Santa Bernardina demonstrate high predictability, with VFR conditions dominating 80.8% of observations. Eastern winds prevail at an average of 8.5 knots, creating generally stable flying environments. Temperature ranges from 3°C to 38°C, with an average of 20°C, suggesting significant seasonal variation that pilots should consider during flight planning.
Notable Features
Both runways (03/21 and 10/28) offer excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The primary runway 03/21 is 7,477 feet long with a PEM surface, while the secondary runway 10/28 measures 4,764 feet with an ASP surface. Average crosswind conditions remain moderate at 5.2-5.5 knots, supporting predictable landing and takeoff scenarios.
Approach Considerations
January, November, and December represent the best VFR months for operations. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog present in only 1.8% of observations). Pilots can expect consistent approach conditions, particularly during peak VFR months, with low probability of challenging meteorological interruptions.
