Weather Briefing
IFRCataratas Del Iguazú International Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 8,000 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (80°) at 7 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 5-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 600 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 17°C (63°F) with a dewpoint of 17°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. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Light Thunderstorm Rain, Heavy Thunderstorm Rain, Drizzle, Mist, Fog, Drizzle. There is a 40% probability of IFR conditions with Heavy Thunderstorm Rain between 20:00Z and 00:00Z. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Fog between 07:00Z and 11:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
