Weather Briefing

MVFR

José Martí International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 3,000 feet and 8 km visibility.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 8 knots. Runway 06/24 is favored with a 8-knot headwind and 1-knot crosswind component.

Visibility & Ceiling

Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 3,000 ft.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 23°C (73°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. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 23:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About José Martí International Airport

Overview

José Martí International Airport serves as the primary international airport for Havana, Cuba, and is a critical aviation hub for the Caribbean region. Located at coordinates 22.989201, -82.409103, the airport operates at an elevation of 210 feet above mean sea level and supports large commercial and international air traffic.

Flying Conditions

Situated in a tropical maritime climate, the airport experiences consistent weather patterns typical of the Caribbean, with potential for rapid meteorological changes. Pilots should anticipate potential thunderstorm activity and seasonal wind variations that can impact flight operations on the 13,123-foot asphalt runway.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (06/24) provides substantial operational flexibility with its extensive 13,123-foot length, accommodating large commercial aircraft. Its geographical position near Havana creates a dynamic operational environment with potential urban thermal effects and coastal wind interactions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24's extended length allows for diverse approach strategies with significant margin for error. Pilots should remain attentive to potential crosswind conditions given the airport's coastal location, and be prepared to adjust approach profiles accordingly based on prevailing wind directions.
