Weather Briefing

IFR

Aeropuerto Internacional Guaraní is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with overcast skies at 2,500 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (60°) at 6 knots. Runway 05/23 is favored with a 6-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 600 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 19°C (66°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Light Rain, Light Thunderstorm Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Thunderstorm Rain between 15:00Z and 18:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain between 19:00Z and 23:00Z.

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.
