Weather Briefing

MVFR

Aeropuerto Internacional Guaraní is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 2,000 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the south-southeast (160°) at 2 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 2000 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 16°C (61°F) with a dewpoint of 14°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 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Mist, Light Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 07:00Z and 12:00Z. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Rain between 20:00Z and 23:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

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