Weather Briefing
MVFRXoxocotlán International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with overcast skies at 21,000 feet and 8 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 7.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 SM. The ceiling is 2500 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 21°C (70°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread suggests high humidity and potential for visibility restrictions, especially during cooling periods. 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. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Rain between 22:00Z and 02:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Xoxocotlán International Airport
Overview
Xoxocotlán International Airport serves the city of Oaxaca in southern Mexico, located at an elevation of 4,989 feet mean sea level. The medium-sized airport supports regional and commercial aviation operations with a single runway (01/19) measuring 8,038 feet in length. Its strategic location provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the Oaxaca region.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 84.7% of observations supporting clear weather operations. Prevailing winds from the north (0°) average 5.7 knots, with temperature ranges between 0°C and 31°C, averaging 20.6°C. Pilots can expect highly stable flying conditions, with minimal instances of reduced visibility and only 2% of observations reporting fog.
Notable Features
Situated at a significant elevation of 4,989 feet MSL, the airport presents moderate altitude considerations for aircraft performance. The geographic coordinates (17.000814, -96.721970) place the airport in a region with potentially complex terrain typical of southern Mexican topography. The asphalt runway (01/19) provides reliable surface conditions for most aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 2.8 knots. January, November, and December represent the most consistent VFR months for arrivals and departures. Pilots should anticipate reliable approach conditions with consistent visibility averaging 9.1 statute miles.
