Weather Briefing

VFR

Mariana Grajales Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 25,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the northwest (320°) at 6 knots. Runway 35 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 10 SM. The ceiling is 25000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 remain VFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Light Rain.

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.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Mariana Grajales Airport

Overview

Mariana Grajales Airport serves the Guantánamo region in Cuba, positioned at coordinates 20.085300, -75.158302. As a medium airport situated at 56 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the eastern Cuban province. The airport supports regional transportation and connectivity for the Guantánamo area.

Flying Conditions

Located in southeastern Cuba, the airport experiences typical Caribbean maritime weather patterns with potential wind variations. The single runway (17/35) measuring 8,025 feet in length with an asphalt surface offers substantial operational flexibility. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the airport's coastal geographical positioning.

Notable Features

The airport's elevation of 56 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment without significant terrain challenges. Its single runway (17/35) oriented in a north-south configuration provides straightforward approach and departure options. The asphalt runway surface suggests standard ground handling characteristics for most aircraft types.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35's considerable 8,025-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft categories and provides generous landing/takeoff margins. Given the runway's north-south orientation, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios typical in coastal Caribbean environments. Standard instrument approach procedures would likely leverage the runway's favorable length and surface characteristics.
