Weather Briefing
VFRLeón Int'l Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (220°) at 8 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 7°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
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: Mist. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 17:00Z and 20:00Z. There is a 30% probability of IFR conditions with Mist between 00:00Z and 06:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 León Int'l Airport
Overview
León Int'l Airport serves the León region in northwestern Spain, situated at an elevation of 3006 ft MSL near La Virgen Del Camino. The airport features two runways with different surface types: a primary 9843ft asphalt runway (05/23) and a secondary 3392ft dirt runway (06/24). Its medium airport classification suggests it supports regional and potentially some commercial aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at León demonstrate predominantly VFR flying opportunities, with 70% of observations indicating favorable visual flight rules. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -10°C to 31°C, with an average of 8°C. Wind patterns are consistently westerly at 270° with an average speed of 6.4 knots, rarely exceeding 25 knots, and experiencing calm conditions 2.6% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's dual-runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with both runways experiencing 100% favorable wind alignment. Terrain surrounding León suggests a higher elevation environment typical of the Spanish plateau region. Average visibility consistently remains excellent at 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visibility and only 7.7% of observations reporting fog conditions.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and November represent the most reliable months for VFR operations, offering the most consistent flying conditions. Both runways demonstrate minimal crosswind challenges, with an average crosswind of just 3.9 knots. Pilots should anticipate stable approach conditions, particularly during autumn months, with high probability of visual meteorological conditions.
