Weather Briefing
VFRGeneral Pedro Jose Mendez International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 7,000 feet and 10 SM visibility. Note: This observation is 1.6 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (170°) at 7 knots with gusts to 17 knots. Runway 17/35 is favored with a 7-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 7,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 27°C (81°F) with a dewpoint of 23°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 fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Mist. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast with Mist between 12:00Z and 16:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

About General Pedro Jose Mendez International Airport
Overview
General Pedro Jose Mendez International Airport serves Ciudad Victoria in northeastern Mexico, functioning as a medium-sized airport at 761 feet above sea level. Located at coordinates 23.703300, -98.956497, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Tamaulipas region. Its two asphalted runways support diverse aviation operations and regional transportation needs.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at MMCV are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 72% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Temperature ranges from 0°C to 36°C, with an average of 23.7°C, indicating mild thermal environments for most operations. Wind patterns are consistently from the south at an average of 6.9 knots, with calm conditions occurring 15.2% of the time and maximum gusts reaching 21 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 15/33 at 7,218 feet and 17/35 at 4,659 feet, both constructed with asphalt surfaces. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of only 2.7 knots. Visibility averages 8.4 statute miles, with infrequent periods of reduced visibility (below 3SM occurring in 4.6% of observations).
Approach Considerations
January, November, and December represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for airport operations. Pilots can expect high-reliability visual conditions during these periods, with minimal interference from meteorological factors. The predictable southern wind pattern and low average crosswind suggest straightforward approach and departure procedures for both runways.
