Weather Briefing
VFRHewanorra International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 2,100 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 14 knots. Runway 10/28 is favored with a 14-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 2,100 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 24°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods.
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. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 12:00Z and 03:00Z.
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 Hewanorra International Airport
Overview
Hewanorra International Airport serves as the primary international airport for Saint Lucia, located in Vieux Fort at the southern tip of the island. The airport handles significant commercial and tourism-related air traffic, supporting the Caribbean region's transportation infrastructure with its substantial 9,003-foot runway capable of accommodating large aircraft.
Flying Conditions
The airport sits at a low elevation of 14 feet mean sea level, which contributes to relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of Caribbean maritime environments. Pilots should anticipate potential tropical maritime weather patterns, including potential convective activity and occasional wind variations that could impact approach and departure procedures.
Notable Features
The single runway (10/28) is oriented east-west and constructed with an asphaltic surface, providing a long landing surface suitable for wide-body aircraft operations. The airport's geographic position at 13.733200, -60.952599 places it in a coastal environment with potential for complex local wind dynamics influenced by surrounding terrain and sea interactions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28's substantial 9,003-foot length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and operational scenarios, with the east-west orientation likely influencing prevailing wind considerations during approach. Pilots should carefully assess local wind conditions and be prepared for potential crosswind components given the airport's coastal geographical context.
