Weather Briefing

MVFR

Carlos Rovirosa Pérez International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,800 feet and 6 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.1 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 5 knots. Runway 26 is favored with a 4-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 6 SM. The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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 17 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Haze, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 14:00Z and 18:00Z. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z.

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.
