Weather Briefing

LIFR

Perranporth Airfield is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 200 feet and 1.2 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west (280°) at 6 knots. Runway 27 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 1.2 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. The ceiling is very low at 200 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 15°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 8 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. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 07:00Z and 09:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 12:00Z and 15:00Z.

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.
