Weather Briefing

VFR

Cabo Rojo Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with broken clouds at 30,000 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 30000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 1,800 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 25°C (77°F) with a dewpoint of 24°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Light Showers Rain. There is a 30% probability of MVFR conditions with Light Showers Rain between 05:00Z and 10:00Z.

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 Cabo Rojo Airport

Overview

Cabo Rojo Airport serves the southwestern region of the Dominican Republic, located at 17.929001, -71.644798. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 262 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Cabo Rojo area. The airport supports regional transportation needs with its primary runway 11/29, which measures 4,950 feet and is surfaced with asphalt.

Flying Conditions

The airport's moderate elevation at 262 feet suggests a generally stable atmospheric environment typical of Caribbean coastal regions. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences given the airport's proximity to coastal areas. Temperature and wind variations can be expected due to the geographic location and seasonal maritime air masses.

Notable Features

Runway 11/29's asphalt surface provides a stable landing platform with a substantial 4,950-foot length, accommodating a range of aircraft types. The airport's position at 17.929001, -71.644798 indicates it is situated in a region with potential complex terrain and coastal geographical characteristics that may influence local wind patterns and approach conditions.

Approach Considerations

Given the runway's orientation of 11/29, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios during approach and landing. The 4,950-foot runway length provides adequate space for most regional and medium-sized aircraft operations. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical for safe navigation, especially during periods of reduced visibility or challenging maritime weather conditions.
