Weather Briefing

LIFR

Capitán Av. Selin Zeitun Lopez Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with overcast skies at 7,000 feet and 5 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 5 knots. Runway 13/31 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is very low at 400 feet AGL (broken), well below circling minimums at most airports.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 23°C (73°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

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.
