Weather Briefing
MVFRLa Nubia Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,500 feet and 7 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (120°) at 5 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 1500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 14°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

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.
