Weather Briefing

LIFR

Perisher Valley Medical Centre Helipad is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 100 feet and 0.6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the north (360°) at 2 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 0.6 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 100 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is -2°C (28°F) with a dewpoint of -2°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 25 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: Freezing Fog. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Freezing Fog between 22:00Z and 23:00Z.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
