Weather Briefing

LIFR

Aeropuerto Nacional Dr. Augusto Roberto Fuster is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with clear skies and 0 km visibility. Note: This observation is 16 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south (180°) at 8 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 0 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 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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: Fog, Mist.

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.
