Weather Briefing
VFRJosé Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 10,000 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south-southeast (150°) at 6 knots. Runway 21 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 5-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,000 ft, scattered at 10,000 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 32°C (90°F) with a dewpoint of 23°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
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.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight. 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 José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport
Overview
José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Guayaquil, Ecuador's largest city and economic center. Located at an elevation of 19 feet mean sea level, the airport handles significant commercial and cargo traffic for the coastal region. Its strategic position makes it crucial for both domestic and international aviation operations in Ecuador.
Flying Conditions
Guayaquil's coastal location creates dynamic weather conditions that pilots should carefully monitor. The airport experiences a tropical maritime climate with potential for rapid visibility and wind changes. Seasonal variations can impact approach and departure conditions, particularly during the wet season from December to May.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (03/21) measuring 9,154 feet with an asphalt surface, providing substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for large commercial aircraft. Its geographical coordinates at -2.157420, -79.883598 place it near sea level in a relatively flat coastal environment. The low elevation and proximity to the Pacific Ocean contribute to specific meteorological considerations for flight operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 offers flexibility for arrivals and departures based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the airport's coastal location. Standard instrument approach procedures and careful wind monitoring are recommended for safe operations at this international airport.
