Weather Briefing
VFRLeeward Point Field is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 6,000 feet and 10 SM visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-northwest (290°) at 8 knots. Runway 28 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 10 SM. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 6,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 22°C (72°F) with a dewpoint of 19°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. The forecast shows a transition between VFR and IFR conditions. Pilots should monitor the forecast closely and have an alternate airport plan. Expected weather includes: Showers Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast with Showers Rain between 19:00Z and 23:00Z.
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 Leeward Point Field
Overview
Leeward Point Field serves the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba, positioned at 19.906500, -75.207100 with an elevation of 56 feet MSL. As a medium airport, it supports military and naval aviation operations in a strategically important Caribbean location. The facility features a single asphalt runway (10/28) measuring 8000 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
Statistical data reveals predominantly excellent VFR conditions 89.6% of the time, with minimal periods of reduced visibility. Temperature ranges from 18°C to 34°C, averaging 26.3°C, providing generally stable flying environments. Wind patterns are predominantly northwest (315°) at an average of 8.1 knots, with occasional gusts up to 32 knots and rare calm periods (1.8%).
Notable Features
The airport's geographic positioning in Guantanamo Bay offers unique environmental characteristics for pilots. Its coastal location influences wind patterns and visibility, with an average visibility of 9.5 statute miles. The runway alignment and surrounding terrain suggest potential for consistent wind conditions and predictable approach environments.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28 demonstrates favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 4.9 knots. January, November, and December represent the most consistent VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate generally stable approach conditions with minimal meteorological interference.
