Weather Briefing
MVFRToncontín International Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with broken clouds at 3,400 feet and 8 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east (80°) at 5 knots. Runway 02/20 is favored with a 3-knot headwind and 4-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 8 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. The ceiling is 3400 feet AGL (broken), well above standard VFR minimums. Caution: cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds reported at 3,600 ft AGL, indicating convective activity in the area.
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. 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. 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: Rain. Temporary IFR conditions are forecast between 20:00Z and 02:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further. 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.

About Toncontín International Airport
Overview
Toncontín International Airport serves Tegucigalpa, Honduras as a medium-sized airport situated at 3294 feet mean sea level. The airport is positioned at coordinates 14.060900, -87.217201, supporting regional and domestic aviation operations. Its single runway (02/20) spans 6112 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather observations indicate predominantly VFR conditions, with 66.2% of recorded periods offering clear flying conditions and 30.6% of time presenting marginal VFR scenarios. Wind patterns are predominantly northerly at an average of 6.9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 40 knots and calm periods representing 13.9% of observations. Temperature remains stable, averaging 21.5°C with a range between 13°C and 32°C.
Notable Features
The airport's elevation of 3294 feet MSL suggests potential terrain interaction and density altitude considerations for aircraft performance. Its geographic location in central Honduras implies potential for complex local wind and terrain-influenced meteorological conditions. The runway alignment suggests potential terrain-related approach and departure challenges typical of mountainous Central American landscapes.
Approach Considerations
Runway 02/20 demonstrates 100% favorable wind conditions with an average crosswind component of 3.7 knots. Pilots can expect optimal VFR flying conditions during December, October, and January. Visibility consistently averages 10 statute miles, providing excellent visual reference for most operations.
