Weather Briefing

VFR

Tuguegarao Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 29,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east (90°) at 6 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 1-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,800 ft, scattered at 29,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 00:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 03:00Z and 09:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Tuguegarao Airport

Overview

Tuguegarao Airport serves the Cagayan Valley region in northeastern Luzon, Philippines, providing critical transportation infrastructure for Tuguegarao City. Located at 17.643368, 121.733150, this medium-sized airport supports regional commercial and general aviation operations at an elevation of 70 feet mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation at 70 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-induced weather variations, though pilots should anticipate typical tropical maritime meteorological conditions common to the Philippines. Seasonal wind patterns may significantly influence operations, particularly across the 17/35 runway orientation.

Notable Features

With a substantial 6,455-foot concrete runway (17/35), Tuguegarao Airport can accommodate medium-sized commercial aircraft and provides robust operational flexibility. The airport's geographic position in the Cagayan Valley introduces potential localized wind and visibility conditions that warrant careful preflight assessment.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35's significant length enables diverse aircraft approach profiles with good operational margins. Pilots should conduct thorough wind assessments given the runway's linear north-south alignment, which may expose approaches to potential crosswind components depending on prevailing meteorological conditions.
