Weather Briefing
LIFRWest Melton Aerodrome is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 200 feet and 2.1 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 2.1 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is very low at 200 feet AGL (overcast), well below circling minimums at most airports.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 7°C (45°F) with a dewpoint of 7°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 29 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Mist, Drizzle. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions between 20:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Drizzle between 07:00Z and 22:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Current conditions require an instrument rating, IFR-equipped aircraft, and an IFR clearance. Check approach minimums carefully as conditions may be below CAT I ILS minimums. 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.
