Weather Briefing
VFRAlfonso López Pumarejo Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 3000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 24°C (75°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
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.

Alfonso López Pumarejo Airport serves Valledupar, Colombia, as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at 10.435000, -73.249500 with an elevation of 483 ft MSL, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the northeastern Colombian region. Its single runway 02/20 measuring 6,890 feet supports various aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at SKVP are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 96.4% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The prevailing wind from the northeast (45°) averages 8.3 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 24 knots. Temperature ranges between 22°C and 38°C, with an average of 28.6°C, creating consistent thermal conditions for pilots.
Notable Features
The airport's single asphalt runway (02/20) is oriented to maximize alignment with predominant wind patterns. With 100% favorable wind coverage and an average crosswind of only 5.1 knots, the runway configuration provides reliable approach and departure conditions. December, September, and January represent the most consistent VFR months for operations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with virtually no instances of visibility below 3 miles. Minimal fog occurrence (0.6%) further enhances approach reliability. The runway's orientation and consistent wind patterns suggest predictable approach conditions, particularly during the peak VFR months.
