Weather Briefing
LIFRGobernador Horacio Guzman International Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,000 feet and 4 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 3 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.
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.
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 Drizzle, Drizzle, Mist, Drizzle, Fog.
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.

About Gobernador Horacio Guzman International Airport
Overview
Gobernador Horacio Guzman International Airport serves San Salvador de Jujuy in Argentina, functioning as a critical medium-sized regional airport. Located at coordinates -24.392799, -65.097801, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for Jujuy Province, situated in the northwestern region of the country. Its elevation of 3019 feet above mean sea level positions it in a distinctive geographical context.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high-altitude location at 3019 ft MSL introduces specific atmospheric considerations for pilots, potentially affecting aircraft performance and engine dynamics. Situated in a mountainous region, pilots should anticipate potential variations in temperature, density altitude, and wind patterns that can impact takeoff and landing procedures. The elevation suggests careful performance calculations, particularly for turbine and piston aircraft.
Notable Features
The single runway (16/34) extends 9,698 feet and is constructed with asphalt, providing substantial length for various aircraft operations. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, which are typical in mountainous terrain. The geographic positioning in northwestern Argentina indicates proximity to complex topographical features that may influence local meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34's significant length of 9,698 feet allows flexibility for different aircraft categories and provides adequate safety margins for high-altitude operations. Pilots should anticipate potential terrain-induced wind shifts and be prepared for potential density altitude effects during approach and departure. Standard mountain flying techniques and thorough pre-flight performance calculations are recommended.
