Weather Briefing
MVFRCaptain Rogelio Castillo National Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 24,000 feet and 5 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 SM. The ceiling is 24000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 14°C (57°F) with a dewpoint of 12°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions.
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.

About Captain Rogelio Castillo National Airport
Overview
Captain Rogelio Castillo National Airport serves the Celaya region in Mexico, positioned at an elevation of 5,709 feet mean sea level. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the central Mexican state, supporting regional commercial and general aviation operations. Its medium-sized classification indicates substantial capacity for varied aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Located at significant altitude, the airport's 5,709 ft elevation will impact aircraft performance, particularly during warmer months and with higher gross weights. The airport's geographic position suggests potential for variable wind conditions along the 08/26 runway heading. Pilots should anticipate density altitude effects and plan accordingly for takeoff and landing performance.
Notable Features
The single runway (08/26) measures 6,284 feet in length and is constructed of asphalt, providing adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. The airport's coordinates at 20.545998, -100.886539 place it in a terrain-transitional zone that may involve complex local wind patterns and potential mechanical turbulence. Pilots should conduct thorough preflight planning with these geographical considerations in mind.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 offers a straight-in approach with consistent asphalt surface conditions. Given the runway's orientation, prevailing wind patterns will likely influence approach and landing preferences. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and velocity, recognizing the potential for crosswind components at this elevation.
