FORECAST & PILOT NOTES · SUPPLEMENTAL

Pilot weather notes

Current aviation conditions show flight category VFR, wind from 300° at 4 kt, visibility 10 SM, ceiling CAVOK. This report is older than usual, so treat it with caution. No extended National Weather Service forecast is available for this location. Key risks: high temperature.

PILOT WEATHER NOTES
High temperatureMETAR
Temperature 37C. Hot conditions degrade engine and climb performance; expect higher density altitude.
