Weather Briefing
MVFREl Tajín National Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 1,500 feet and 3 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 5.3 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (30°) at 8 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 3 SM, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (overcast), placing conditions in the MVFR category. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,500 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 24 hours. IFR conditions are expected to persist or develop. An instrument rating and IFR flight plan are recommended. Expected weather includes: Rain, Light Rain, Mist, Light Rain, Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Light Rain, Mist between 11:00Z and 15:00Z. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 19:00Z and 23:00Z.
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. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.
