Weather Briefing

MVFR

Jacmel Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 20,000 feet and 7 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southeast (130°) at 12 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 10-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 20000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature data is not available.

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. Expect variable wind speeds ranging from 4 to 15 knots. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions between 13:00Z and 18:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

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

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