Prevailing winds from the northeast at an average of 6 knots, with occasional peaks up to 22 knots, characterize the airport's wind profile. Temperature ranges from 13°C to 33°C, with an average of 24.3°C, creating generally stable flying conditions throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways: 04L/22R at 4,500 feet, 04R/22L at 8,000 feet, and 11/29 at 6,000 feet. All runways are constructed of asphalt and provide multiple approach options. The airport experiences minimal meteorological challenges, with only 1.2% of observations reporting IFR conditions and a very low occurrence of fog (0.1% of observations).
