Weather Briefing
MVFRRobert L. Bradshaw International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility. Note: This observation is 1.5 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the northeast (50°) at 7 knots. Runway 07/25 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. The ceiling is 1800 feet AGL (broken), placing conditions in the MVFR category.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 21°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.
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 Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport
Overview
Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport serves Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis, as the primary international airport for the island. Located at 170 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 17.311199, -62.718700, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Caribbean region. The single runway 07/25 extends 7,602 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at TKPK are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 92.3% of observations supporting VFR operations. Easterly winds averaging 9.6 knots with a maximum of 20 knots characterize the airport's wind profile. Temperature consistency is notable, ranging from 21°C to 33°C with an average of 27.9°C, and visibility typically remains excellent at 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport's runway configuration provides consistent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions for runway 07/25. Average crosswind components are minimal at 3.3 knots, enhancing operational predictability. November through January represent the most stable VFR months for pilots planning operations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect predominantly east winds at 90 degrees, which align favorably with runway 07/25. The low incidence of marginal conditions (only 7.7% MVFR) suggests reliable approach and landing environments. With calm wind conditions occurring less than 1% of the time, wind-related operational constraints are minimal.
