Weather Briefing

LIFR

Aberporth Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (270°) at 7 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°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 21 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: Rain, Light RADZ, Fog. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 10:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Light RADZ between 10:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light RADZ between 18:00Z and 06:00Z.

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.
