Weather Briefing
MVFRTela Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 7,000 feet and 8 km visibility. Note: This observation is 3.8 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are calm, presenting no crosswind concerns for any runway.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 7000 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: towering cumulus clouds reported at 2,200 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 26°C (79°F) with a dewpoint of 25°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.

About Tela Airport
Overview
Tela Airport serves the coastal region of Honduras, located near the city of Tela. Situated at a low elevation of 7 feet mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northern Honduras transportation network. The airport supports regional and local aviation operations with its 4,415-foot asphalted runway.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Tela Airport are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 77% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. Temperatures consistently range between 18°C and 34°C, averaging 26.7°C, which provides stable atmospheric conditions for most of the year. October, September, and November represent the best months for VFR flying, with minimal meteorological restrictions.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical position near the Caribbean coast influences its wind patterns, with prevailing northerly winds at 0 degrees. Wind speeds average 5.9 knots, though occasional gusts up to 54 knots are possible, with calm conditions occurring 41.7% of the time. The low elevation and coastal location suggest a relatively flat surrounding terrain with minimal elevation-related complexities.
Approach Considerations
Runway 06/24 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 4 knots. Pilots can expect excellent wind conditions for landing and takeoff, with consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The asphalted runway provides reliable surface conditions for most aircraft operations in the region.
