Weather Briefing
IFRGuapiles Airport is currently reporting instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions with broken clouds at 800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 11.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west (280°) at 6 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 2-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 800 feet AGL (broken). Only precision approaches may be usable depending on minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 20°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Thunderstorm Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Thunderstorm Rain between 22:00Z and 00:00Z.
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.

About Guapiles Airport
Overview
Guapiles Airport serves the Pococi region in Costa Rica, strategically positioned at 10.217200, -83.796997. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 883 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northeastern Costa Rican landscape. The airport supports regional transportation and potentially agricultural or commercial aviation needs in this area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation at 883 ft MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment with potential for variable atmospheric conditions typical of tropical Central American regions. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and precipitation variations that can impact visibility and surface conditions. The concrete runway (03/21) suggests stable ground operations during most weather scenarios.
Notable Features
The single runway (03/21) measures 3,609 feet in length, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on local terrain and wind patterns. The airport's location in Pococi provides a critical aviation link in a region characterized by diverse tropical topography.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21's concrete surface and moderate length require standard approach considerations for medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should be prepared for potential terrain-influenced wind shifts and conduct standard terrain awareness procedures. Standard instrument approach planning should account for the airport's 883 ft elevation and surrounding geographical features.
