Weather Briefing
VFRLázaro Cárdenas Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,000 feet and 7 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.2 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the southwest (230°) at 7 knots. Runway 19 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 7 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C, indicating moderate moisture 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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Rain. There is a 40% probability of MVFR conditions with Rain between 00:00Z and 04:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About Lázaro Cárdenas Airport
Overview
Lázaro Cárdenas Airport serves the port city of Lázaro Cárdenas in Michoacán, Mexico, situated along the Pacific coastal region. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 39 feet mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local maritime and industrial area. The airport supports regional transportation needs with its single asphalt runway.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable maritime weather conditions, including potential sea breezes and localized humidity. Pilots should anticipate potential visibility and wind variations typical of Pacific coastal environments. The single runway (01/19) measuring 4900 feet provides sufficient length for most regional aircraft operations.
Notable Features
Lázaro Cárdenas Airport is positioned near significant maritime infrastructure, with the surrounding terrain likely featuring coastal plains and potential industrial landscape. The airport's geographical coordinates (18.001672, -102.220316) place it in a region with complex topographical transitions between coastal and inland terrains. Pilots should be prepared for potential terrain-influenced wind patterns and visibility conditions.
Approach Considerations
The runway's 01/19 orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Given the coastal location, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shifts and maritime atmospheric conditions. Standard approach procedures consistent with Mexican aviation regulations will apply, with careful attention to local terrain and wind dynamics.
