Weather Briefing

IFR

Adelaide Parafield Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 5,000 feet and 4 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 3200 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°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 30 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: Showers Rain, Light Rain, Light Showers Rain, Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 16:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 16:00Z and 03:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 03:00Z and 07:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.
