Weather Briefing
VFRCésar Manrique-Lanzarote Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the north-northeast (20°) at 8 knots. Runway 03/21 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 18°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. Winds are forecast to reach up to 22 knots during the period. There is a 40% probability of VFR conditions between 21:00Z and 05:00Z. There is a 30% probability of VFR conditions between 11:00Z and 20:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport
Overview
César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport serves as the primary aviation gateway to Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands located off the northwest coast of Africa. Positioned in San Bartolomé, the airport supports commercial passenger traffic and plays a critical role in the island's transportation infrastructure at an elevation of 46 feet mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location in the Canary Islands suggests maritime subtropical climate conditions with generally stable weather patterns. Winds and visibility can be influenced by the island's oceanic positioning, with potential for crosswind conditions on the primary runway 03/21, which measures 7,874 feet in length and is constructed of asphalt.
Notable Features
Lanzarote's volcanic landscape creates unique terrain considerations for approaching and departing aircraft. The airport's coordinates at 28.945499, -13.605200 position it in an area with potential for localized wind shifts and thermal variations typical of island environments.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21's substantial length of 7,874 feet provides ample space for most commercial aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime wind influences and be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios when planning arrivals and departures at this Canary Islands airport.
