Weather Briefing
VFREl Palomar Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 2 knots.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 10°C (50°F) with a dewpoint of 10°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. 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, DZRA. Temporary LIFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 08:00Z and 12:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with DZRA between 21:00Z and 00:00Z.
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. 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 El Palomar Airport
Overview
El Palomar Airport serves as a medium-sized airport located in the El Palomar region of Argentina, situated near Buenos Aires. The airport's geographical coordinates are -34.609900, -58.612600, with an elevation of 59 feet mean sea level (MSL), positioning it in a relatively low-altitude environment.
Flying Conditions
Being located at a low elevation of 59 ft MSL, El Palomar experiences generally stable atmospheric conditions typical of the Buenos Aires metropolitan area. Pilots should anticipate standard temperature and pressure variations consistent with the region's subtropical climate, which can influence aircraft performance, particularly during takeoff and landing on the 6,923-foot concrete runway.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (17/35) oriented north-south, which provides flexibility for aircraft operations based on wind conditions. Its concrete surface and substantial length of 6,923 feet accommodate a variety of medium-sized aircraft, supporting regional and potentially some commercial aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 17/35's orientation suggests potential advantages for managing crosswinds and providing consistent approach options. Pilots should conduct standard pre-flight planning to assess current wind vectors and their potential impact on landing and takeoff performance, taking into account the runway's dimensional characteristics and the airport's low-elevation environment.
