Weather Briefing

MVFR

Aeropuerto Internacional Guaraní is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with clear skies and 7 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 2 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 22°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 remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Rain between 13:00Z and 17:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 18:00Z and 22:00Z.

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.
