Weather Briefing
VFRNueva Hesperides International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 8,300 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southwest (200°) at 4 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 8300 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 15°C (59°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.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Patches Fog. There is a 40% probability of LIFR conditions with Patches Fog between 07:00Z and 10:00Z.
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.

Its strategic position makes it an important transportation hub for the local area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Nueva Hesperides demonstrate consistent and favorable flying environments, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating 79.7% of the time. The prevailing southeast winds at 135° average 6.5 knots, with temperatures ranging from 6°C to 36°C and an average of 23.1°C. Pilots can expect excellent visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 5,210-foot asphalted runway (05/23) and a 2,461-foot grass runway (13/31). Both runways demonstrate highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. The terrain surrounding the airport appears relatively consistent, with no significant elevation variations noted in the provided coordinates.
Approach Considerations
Wind conditions strongly favor both primary runways, with minimal average crosswind components of 4.1 knots for runway 05/23 and 4 knots for runway 13/31. Pilots should note the best Visual Flight Rules months are January, October, and September, which offer optimal flying conditions. The consistently stable weather patterns and low occurrence of IFR conditions (only 3.3%) suggest generally reliable approach and landing environments.
