Weather Briefing

MVFR

Querétaro Intercontinental Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 7 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (90°) at 7 knots. Runway 09/27 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 SM. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Haze, Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 06:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 20:00Z and 00:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.
