Weather Briefing
VFRLa Nubia Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,000 feet and 9 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 9 km. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°F) with a dewpoint of 15°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.

About La Nubia Airport
Overview
La Nubia Airport serves Manizales, Colombia, as a medium-sized airport situated at a high elevation of 6,871 feet MSL. Located in the central Andean region, the airport supports regional transportation and likely serves commercial, cargo, and potentially some general aviation operations in this mountainous terrain.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 64% of observations showing clear weather and an additional 29.1% at marginal VFR levels. Temperature variability is moderate, ranging from 11°C to 31°C with an average of 16.6°C. Pilots should anticipate frequent fog conditions, with 40% of observations indicating reduced visibility.
Notable Features
The high elevation at 6,871 feet MSL presents significant performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during takeoff and landing. Runway 10/28, which is 4,835 feet long and asphalted, provides the primary operational surface. Prevailing winds from the east (90 degrees) are consistent, with an average speed of 4.5 knots and maximum observed speeds of 11 knots.
Approach Considerations
Both runway 09/27 and 10/28 demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with minimal average crosswind components of 1.5 and 1 knots respectively. September, December, and January represent the most favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should be prepared for potential reduced visibility due to the significant fog prevalence in the area.
