Weather Briefing

MVFR

Camilo Daza International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 6 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the variable directions at 3 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,000 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 22°C (72°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. 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: DZRA, Patches Fog, Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with DZRA between 06:00Z and 10:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Patches Fog between 10:00Z and 14:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 19:00Z 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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.
