Weather Briefing

LIFR

Aeropuerto Internacional Guaraní is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with clear skies and 0.8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 2 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 0.8 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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: Fog, Light Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Light Rain between 13:00Z and 17:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.

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.
