Weather Briefing

LIFR

Presidente Prudente Airport is currently reporting low IFR (LIFR) conditions with clear skies and 0.8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 1.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.

Wind Analysis

Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is severely reduced to 0.8 km, likely due to fog, mist, or precipitation. Special VFR or an IFR clearance may be required. Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 12°C (54°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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 12 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Fog. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Fog between 06:00Z and 11:00Z.

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.
