Weather Briefing

MVFR

Forçados Terminal Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,200 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 287.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 6 knots. Runway 02/20 is favored with a 0-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1200 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 2,100 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 27°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

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.
