Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is reduced to 2.3 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (overcast), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 20°C (68°F) with a dewpoint of 20°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

Pilot Recommendations

An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are required. Verify that destination and alternate approach minimums are above current and forecast conditions. 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.
