Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is reduced to 4 km. IFR conditions prevail and an instrument clearance is required for operations in controlled airspace. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 4,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 30°C (86°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C, indicating relatively dry conditions.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 30 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Smoke, Blowing Dust, DSTSRA. There is a 30% probability of LIFR conditions with Blowing Dust between 18:00Z and 22:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Smoke between 01:00Z and 05:00Z. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with DSTSRA.
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 forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
