Weather Briefing

LIFR

Frutillar Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with broken clouds at 300 feet and 9 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the west-southwest (240°) at 1 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 9 km. The ceiling is very low at 300 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is -2°C (28°F) with a dewpoint of -3°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely. Temperatures are at or below freezing. Check for icing conditions and ensure aircraft anti-ice/de-ice systems are operational if required.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Freezing Fog, Mist. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Freezing Fog between 06:00Z and 15:00Z.

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.
